We are changing domain registrars today. You may experience some downtime over the next 2-3 days as the DNS updates to the new registrars.

To whom? I know that GoDaddy rocks, cheap prices for domains; and for me who likes to get the longest date possible i love it ...

www.joker.com - $12 for one year isn't too bad

ah, ok, the transfer went through and the nameservers didn't get changed, so there shouldn't be any sort of problem with site outages

That's not true, I can't access the site right now

GoDaddy is cheaper... Joker is like double that of godaddy... I moved all of my domains over ($6 each during their sale, which was like a dollar off) to GoDaddy and even renewed some to 10 years for under $100... It's like 900X better than Dotster too (I have a thing against dotster; their support sucks and I mysteriously lost control of some of my domains for about a week)...

ok, I'm trying it now with a domain, took more than a week to get an email from register.com to complete the transfer - not sure who was at fault

I gave up on godaddy, their ssl service is a joke (they mention no where that you have 30 days to rekey or you're screwed); so in essnce i have a 2 year ssl certificate that's invalid :nod;...

I asked if they could allow me access to re-key 2 weeks after their 30day window and they said no, upon informing them that it doens't say anything in the ssl section of their site on a re-key... Needless to say i'm moving my 30 domains to my eNom account ($7.95 renewals/registrations)

well for domains they are still the cheapest

heh, not for me ... I can renew domains at a base of $7.95; they offer $8.95. There are also cheaper sites, i've seen down to $6.95 but hadn't used the services to validate if it's anything of value.

I have quite a number of domains I only use anymore for email fowarding, godaddy offers that but they do not allow a basic HTML page so someone trying my email's domain will end up on a godday sale page I use to have a page when I was at stargate but when time to renew came I found them too expensive (around $10 but I think they have lowered their prices sinces)

does your company offer these services? i have some domains I need to renew probably

My company utilizes eNom's systems, public pricing on domains through us is $10.95 on .com/net/org; I am not sure what eNom uses for a placeholder page (as I've never had a need to check it); they offer full DNS hosting however (including URL forwarding)

yeah same for godaddy but I hate their placeholder full of ads. maybe I'll switch some domains back to stargate. I didn't have the need for hosting accounts anymore so I plan on sticking to basic feature jst to forward specific email adress to my yahoo plus account.

Ya know, www.mydomain.com offers free domain forwarding; i could give you a subdomain on one of my sites to have a placeholder or whatever...

Also, i could give you a lead on ~$7.99 domain registrations through a reseller account (offer only valid for the charles' allen and ian), message me on AIM if interested.

ok thanks I'll think about it.

I wonder how enom manages to stay in business with such steep prices

eNom's public pricing are like $40/yr, for those with an affiliate agreement you can get down to $6.95; my account is at $7.95. Usually you have to add $6950 for a $6.95 account, and like $4000 for a $7.95 account but i got mine from a etp (top level account holder) at $6.96 (dollar increase = what i have).
