I have a few great names at Godaddy that could be construed as typos of trademarks. I have heard horror stories of Godaddy appropriating questionable names at the drop of a hat, without even extending the registrant the courtesy of disputing the claim, so I need to transfer these names off Godaddy ASAP.
My question to the group is: what is the best / safest registrar for âsensitiveâ names?
My thought process so far is:
1) I'd like to get a reputable non-USA registrar because itâs probably less likely that USA based firms will go after a name if the registrar is outside the USA.
2) The registrar needs to offer a privacy protection service.
3) The one I was planning to go with is Answerable. I canât really tell for sure, because they seem to have a labyrinthine ownership structure, but they seem to be out of India and have a privacy service coming out of the Netherlands. I have some names there that I won on Snapnames, and have been happy with them, and its pretty cheap, so that seems the best. (The only problem with them is that their privacy service is so good (perhaps this means its bad) that virtually nobody can contact you, i.e. a new parking service trying to verify domain name ownership. If they had this fixed itâd be a no-brainer.)
4) I was also considering Fabulous and NameScout, but neither of them have privacy services. (NameScout has email privacy, but I need more than that.)
Any input or thoughts on who the best registrar is for this is? Anything bad about Answerable that I should know about?
Thanks
