Generally its a great company
Negative
- The reminder email when renewal/expiration is due, is unclear whether the domain will be renewed or expired.
- Maybe I wouldn't be so concerned by this if it wasn't for a bug (I assume) that renewed a domain even though I had marked it to be canceled. (I was refunded, and I assume the bug was fixed because It hasn't happened when I've canceled other domains after that.)
- When I go in under "add web forwarding" (301-redirects), I could be informed which domains already have web-forwarding.
- Can be frustrating when combined with other rookie errors like forgetting to turn of the cache.
- However once you've learned it, it's no problem.
Positve
- No extra fees for every little detail like for example hiding your personal data in the whois-register.
- Easy to switch between renew/cancel (Some other domain registrars (hostdepartment.com) makes it easy to join but difficult to leave (requiring phone calls etc))
- Allows 301-redirects with the search path is intact. Ex: redirecting exampleA.com/abc?def=ghi ⇒ exampleB.com/abc?def=ghi (some registrars dumps the search path: exampleA.com/abc?def=ghi ⇒ exampleB.com)
