I've heard good things about easydns too, and I really like dotster.com myself. === Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 11:09:39 -0800 From: Rafael Skodlar <raffi@linwin.com> Subject: Re: [svlug] Where to (re) register a Domain Name?

Everybody that handles our credit cards stores some records of the transaction somewhere, why would others be different? It seems that cheap and "quick setup" registrars are possible cause for some problems we have with spam. I bothered to document some spam that I believe is a result of cheap and automated (?) domain registration http://www.linwin.com/spam+scam/index.html What happened to our "anti spam" mailing list? I subscribed and sent email there twice and never got any reply to it. === Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 11:54:04 -0800 (PST) From: Greg Herlein <gherlein@herlein.com> To: svlug@svlug.org Subject: Re: [svlug] Where to (re) register a Domain Name? > Register.com stores your CC#, which makes me nervous.

It's annoying, but an indication that they do NOT store it electronically online. Can you verify your information? My only problem with Registrar.com is that the root nameserver for your new domain must already be a registered nameserver. If you are starting from total scratch (as in creating new root nameservers for your domain in addition to creating the new domain) it is not so easy to do with them. However, their phone customer support people can help with this and they are quite good in my experience. $35/year does not seem too out of line to me. ===
