Hello and thank you for addressing me by master. Personally, I like the corporate registrars because of all the reasons listed below. Plus, if I my server dies, I can just pay godaddy a little extra and host it there. I have several sites through godaddy, and you can buy and sell them there as well too. Not only that, but I find their marketing department's sense of humor to be quite clever. And... Even though I'm not much of a racing fan anymore, I'd have to say, I am a Danica Patrick fan.

I noticed that a lot of big companies uses 2 big players - Network Solutions and GoDaddy - as your main registrar. Haves any issue about using these small partners or all these registrars haves same expertise and responsibility about hold and secure your internic domains?Hi Ivan, In my experience, the biggest worry is whether the a) kid reselling domains out of Mom's basement, or b) single sole proprietor, or c) any other tiny company ...for some reason stops paying their bills to the upstream registrar thereby: 1) making your domain inaccessible/redirected, 2) leaving you without any control panel access to repoint your domains elsewhere 3) leaving no one around at the losing registrar who has a whole lot of interest in approving your domain's transfer to another registrar As such, accountability and critical mass therefore are likely among the reasons you'll see most companies using one of the larger well known registrars like GD and NS. I've helped people whose registrar (a serial entrepreneur type that seemed to have tried everything) simply forgot to pay the bill but did pay up once I helped the guy track the registrar down at his place of employment (with the help of flickr geotagging of an office party). I also helped someone who had hosting and registration service at the same mid-size but sole proprietor company recover after that sole proprietor had a heart attack and passed away. -- Todd Haverkos, LPT MsCompE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
