Because I want my website to be safe and I want to steer away from hosting compagnies that will take over my website or delete my website / domain name without particular reason. I am looking for a very reliable, high quality domain registar.

Do you know any?

At the risk of almost self promo, but not quite 'cos I'm not the registrar personally.

Yep I do

I was going to start a similar thread myself, but I'll just add to this thread as it already exists.

I am looking for feedback on some registrars. Not any that I am specifically listing, but if you have had good experiences with a registrar, especially at tested times, I would like to get some input.

Before I get a response of links to someone's reseller site, let me state that I am not looking for resellers or joke turnkey sites. Pardon the crudeness, but I look at registrars the same as I look at a bank, you are depending on them to hold something of your's that is of value to you. I suspect that you wouldn't give your money to someone who walked up to you off the street and said 'hey buddy, I'll hold that for you, trust me', so why should you do that with your domains?

I presently have 97 domains spread out between 5 registrars. I started out with Namecheap and added other registrars either due to pricing specials or for bulk domain purchases where the domains were already with another registrar.

Up to several months ago, I would have highly recommended Namecheap. I have been with them well over two years and have only come to doubt them within the past few months. Integrity and sniping issues aside, their server problems just seem constant and worsening.

Within the first domain push to me using GoDaddy, they showed a lack of integrity. With any other registrar I have dealt, a push is a push, and not a transfer. With GoDaddy, a push is a transfer and locks you in to prevent you from transferring the domain for 60 days (being that many domains are bought and sold on GoDaddy, often with a short time before renewal, this assures that they will get renewal fees and not just be a middleman).

I recently signed up with Moniker due to having bought some domains from someone with an account there. I had read some good things about Moniker and wanted to try them out anyway. My only guess is that whomever wrote good things about Moniker must be associated with them. And I thought Namecheap had server issues.

My experiences with registrars has basically lead me to understanding that the only thing I can recommend a registrar on is price; and that's not a good thing.

I will be keeping some domains with Namecheap and two of my other registrars (one of which is now my regular registrar due to the economics of their pricing). I will be transferring domains out of Moniker and basically telling GoDaddy to go to hell.

You would certainly hope that registrars would have more of a commitment to their customers, but basically there is little profit in registering domains compared to buying and selling, and sniping them.

I'm wondering if any of you have had good experiences with registrars to the point you would put a degree of trust in them; and what registrars.

I have a suggestion about a quality registrar. If no one mind registrars from canada I think you might look up sibername.com - they are accredited by several organisations for Names and Numbers (including ICANN, CIRA and EURID) and thus are not resellers. I can say their prices look very attractive, as for me and they have many TLDs to propose.

Some hosting companies also have an option of registration a DN, but only few of them are Accredited registrars.

I have had good experiences with 1and1 -- the domain management interface is not as elegant as I would like but its good enough. With over 100 domains registered though them I have had only 1 incident where I tried to register a domain that didnt go through as was then snaped up by domain squatting company. But after I complained 1and1 resolved the issue and awarded me the domain.

I can also give honourable mention to Netfirms and Telivo both of which I have had good experiences with. In response to the above post - I just glanced at Sibername.com and their prices seem to be a bit high in my opinion.

You can be safe with ICANN premeditated only. Godaddy.com, Eurodns.com, Enom.com are the ones you can trust

Only a few months had passed but tons of changes had happened. Doing a thorough research will help a lot before deciding on which service you'd want to use.
