Stay away from Register.com. You probably know that already, but make sure you tell your friends….
Why? Because if you ever want to transfer your name away from them you need to call them in order to get the authorization code. During business hours. On the east coast. No holidays. Of course their sales reps are available 24×7.
While every other company will allow you to get your transfer codes via email, Register.com will not.
Working on a big project and need to get the domain to another registrar over a 3 day weekend? Sorry.
Live in California and decide to call to transfer your domain name at 3:15pm? Not gonna work.
And what happens when you do get someone on the phone? They talk and talk and talk and try to stop you from transferring your name and stick with Register.com. They will claim that this “telephone only” transfer is so that names are not stolen from their owners, but this simply isn’t they case. They are simply trying to make more money by making it difficult to transfer your names away from them.
STAY AWAY FROM REGISTER.COM. Spread the word.
