I used them for registering quite a few names until I started getting 3 to 4 phone calls a day from them...all urgent mind you, basically wanting to sell me hosting! </p> <p>Anyway, I've moved on to GoDaddy. I know I could purchase cheaper elsewhere, but I'd rather not take the chance again!</p> I’m so glad to hear that I’m not the only one who was suckered in to IPowerWeb low domain prices!

Their domain transfer service (including a 1-year extension) costs $6.95. Not sure whether you're availing of those private registrations thing (I have with 2 domains), and that will cost extra. </p> <p>Another one is (LOL!), and I guess you saw this coming: GoDaddy. They're actually associated with Wild West Domains too (as they have the same interface, offers, etc., although ADimeADozen costs $1 less). For domains, they're great. For hosting...never mind. :)</p> Well, I get all of my domains from ADimeADozen (a reseller of Wild West Domains). Their domain transfer service (including a 1-year extension) costs $6.95.

These are domains purchased to help protect tradenames so they aren't going to ever be hosted sites, and I don't want to pay $20 a year per domain for these. Do you have any recommendations?</p> I’m still looking?

I've heard stories similar to that at WHT (Web Hosting Talk). Which domain registrar are you looking at now? </p> Wow, that’s not good. I’ve heard stories similar to that at WHT (Web Hosting Talk).

How totally infuriating. I think I would have used those 10 minutes on hold, surfing for an alternative supplier. There should be a blacklist website for these types of companies.....</p> I fully emphasize! How totally infuriating.
