Name Registrar is Best for Domainers? — Which Domain

In battle for domainers, which domain name registrars deliver?

In the 2009 Reglike survey, I once again asked domainers what the most notable factors were when selecting a domain name registrar. Here were the top four responses:

1. Security
2. Price
3. Client Service
4. Account Management tools

With these top considerations in mind, which registrars make sense for sizable portfolio holders? A couple immediately come to mind (I ought to note that GoDaddy was voted top registrar overall).

The first, based on personal experience, is Moniker. I keep most of my domains there. Not only is pricing competitive, but there are a number of levels of security you can apply to your account. Although the user interface could use some work, I like being able to bulk manage up to 5,000 domain names with the click of a button.

Another top registrar for domainers, based on feedback from others, is Fabulous. It offers good pricing and has a reputation for great client service.

There’s another benefit to using one of these two registrars: selling your domains. Moniker gives you access to selling on both SnapNames and in live auctions; Fabulous gives you access to Domain Distribution Network (and perhaps soon direct listings on NameJet).

There are other domain registrars that focus mostly on the domainer crowd, such as Rebel.
