Oh. Fair enough. Anyway, is there any case related to Shinjiru that you know? I am just curious because I never heard any.
It was this forum and you're out of date. They stopped doing that after it was brought up here, on LET.
I would miss NameSilo's 1990s interface.
epik is in favor of free-speech. And Rob Monster, its owner is quite a popular guy among domainers! I've not come across any public accusation about epik suspending domains for DMCA/infringement. There are few cases listed on namepros, but the registry suspended the domains thru epik. Not epik themselves!
I'm amused that you say cheap because they sell without profit. They sell domains at cost.
If they were and "cheaper" they would literally be paying for your domain name.
Indeed they stopped doing this under peer pressure here. That was an interesting discussion nevertheless.
Even if they sell domains at cost without profit, there are few registrars who sell cheaper than them! That's the reason I said cloudflare is cheap and not the cheapest!
epik seems nice, but their pricing is expensive (but not for .com it seems)
That's now a hybrid. 1990 in 2020 in same frame.
They even defended gab.com when godaddy was throwing it out from the basket. KW "Gab.com godaddy epik". The story was really interesting.
.com is out of question in here. They will try to take the profit next year. Cloudflare is selling on the price they are getting from registry. But not all tlds. I saw in some registrar some tlds are cheaper than other registrar as some registry have their own registrar. So basically they(registry) are in charge and they can do whatever they want.
Yup! Registry offer special promo to certain registrars for promoting their TLDs below the wholesale cost/registry price. That's the reason various registrars offer different pricing many a times lower than cost price. Best examples are .XYZ, .TOP, .CO. Verisign (registry) also offers such promotional price like $4.99 .com for 1st year in some Asian markets!
Namesilo.com is not the same registrar or same people that werw running it.
I had very good experience with them since 2016 until this week when they were gone nuts and refused a payout for marketplace domain name sale saying that there will be investigation because a domain name registered two months ago cannot be sold for $2900.
Asking me to hold until 60 days have been passed, while in terms of service they clearly says after 7 days you are eligible to cash out funds.
I took a poke through this thread and seems I may have nothing to worry about (unless I missed something). I use Namesilo and have 4 domains there. Mostly for DNSSEC because Namecheap wouldn't do it for all of them. I use CloudFlare for DNS though.
I find Epik's support to be pretty terrible to be honest. Like their stance on free speech is definitive, but I found it difficult even to communicate basic payment issues to them and not get back some kind of form response.
In March, I emailed them asking to adjust their .ca pricing in light of the USD/CAD rally. Their CEO responded within an hour reducing the price to what was charged by CIRA with their usual markup.
I emailed them a few days ago about an issue with WHOIS and they got it squared away within an hour.
This is not to invalidate your own bad experiences - I wouldn't trust NameSilo's marketplace either really...

Indeed Namesilo's support is (still) good and prompt, just like Namecheap.
I'm not aware of their marketplace though.
@JasonM any thought bout regery.com?
Thanks
Nigeria Prince ?
they are new and famous registrar from Ukraine. Quite cheap on one-year promo.
But their T&C states in clause 15: To the extent Regery receives a proper notice of infringement of copyright, trademark or other intellectual property, Regery reserves the right to access, preserve and disclose to third parties any of Your information or data (including personally identifiable information and private communications) related to a written complaint of infringement if Regery believes in its sole discretion that such access, preservation, or disclosure is necessary or useful to respond to or otherwise address such complaint.
that means they'll share ALL of your personal information to the complainant! so beware!
Thanks for that
