domainwarning.com — The world of domain registrars today is a minefield. In extreme cases, the fine print of a registrars T&C has included "power of attorney" -- and if you're using a whois protection service, you don't actually own your domain names. Don't get stuck with a bad registrar.

I agree. I switched from Godaddy (which I hated). Namecheap has been great so far. Fast, friendly support, clean website, whoisguard.

i agree, it kept striking me as odd that the author didn't mention the names of any of these potentially malicious registrars when the point of the article was to inform. i guess easydns or whatever didn't want to be sued by the other registrars for putting out an "article" that slandered them

@blackangelEasyDNS doesn't use HTTP_REFFERER, the ID is passed as an argument in the URL ($_GET)

As long as we're all plugging things, I concur. Namecheap is pretty smooth.

This is why its good to have a friend thats a domain registrar that can register domains for you 100% free, *and* gives you free hosting. Small hidden fees? Nope :) Friend: >Go ahead and ring in your transaction to generate the invoice, then I'll zero it out5 minutes later...Email: >Congratulations, we've recieved your payment of $500 and your domain is now active!

Spam, and EASY DNS sucks ass.$25 a year just to park?!! I've used them before, $55 US a year for domain and DNS, give me a break. It's a total rip off.I'm not going to recommend them by name, but I use a major register and get all the DNS services I need, for $3 US a year!

One of my friends registered a domain with easyDNS, (he didn't know any better). Anyways, when I went to change his registrar I noticed that the parking page he's paying for actually gives a link to this site. Maybe that simple fact should be brought into consideration. Getting your EPP code also takes forever with them.
