Here is a list of all accredited registrars out there ICANN | ICANN-Accredited Registrars.

How many of them do you find being talked about?..

I realize from your responses that most people will look at my previous post and think either.

A. Shill.

Or.

B. Moron.

I started this thread because I am genuinely suspicious of a company that seems to be offering domains below cost (based on reseller pricing I've seen). My assumption is that the domain registration is a loss leader, and they hope to upsell you on hosting, but I don't see them even offering additional services.

Fine, it was stupid to ask what makes buying from namecheap and moniker a better deal, I guess it has to do with affiliate commissions.

My underlying question was, does Name.com engage in shady practices, like making it difficult/impossible to switch your domain to another provider when their prices go up? Considering some of the blatant BS going on, like the Network Solutions scam, I think it's a reasonable to be cautious and ask this question. Like I said, I'm a newbie, and I thought some of the veterans might have experience with the registrar...

I have wondered the same thing, they offer $5.99 .com/net/org with free privacy, free forwarding, free advanced dns..

From what I can tell renew is only $7.99/yr..

It's a legit question, no need to flame the guy..

I dunno, personally. Bump for anyone else with experience with them...

I have started using Name.com recently. $2.99 for .biz domains..

Haven't had any problems with them...
