What do you like best about Epik?

They have some of the best pricing out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epik?

Rnewal process is a joke and they have 0 sanctity of the domain owner/customer and sold my domain that I had for 20 years out from under me. Said they emailed me a single reminder and then sold it. Absolute dangerous organization, I wouldn't trust them at all; too risky for a business, thank God it was a personal domain but even so. Painful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epik solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing, I transferred because GoDaddy started censoring domains and content, not having that so I switched, no I don't have my domain anymore, they stole it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The are the only registrar that can provide a .bible domain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epik?

Their renewal system is terribly broken. They nagged me for two months, I renewed and then they charged me. When I sent a memo to support they asked for my pin. I logged in to my account and see that my domain will expire next week. They're totally incompetent and arrogant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epik solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. They provide a .bible domain. That's all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting politically charged emails from them with words such as "and have successfully preserved the digital rights of thousands of patriotic, God-fearing Americans from becoming victims of elitism, censorship, attacks, and cancellation."

What do you like best about Epik?

They provide an exhaustive set of services, including domain registration, email hosting, and web hosting, at attractive prices. Their domain management control panel is very intuitive, well organized, and valuable. Their support team is very fast in responding to doubts and questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They don't have DNSSEC, and their website flows are not very comfortable. Except for these, the offering is very comprehensive, and you cannot find any flaws with them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Look at all the services, including email and web hosting for attractive pricing and value added benefits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epik solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to purchase domains at the best possible rates. I am also using it for email hosting and managing multiple emails and subdomains within our larger company domain. The tools support double-factor authentication and whitelisting, which is very useful. The entire offering is very economical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Country-level domains are hard to buy, lack plugins for different CMSs, Needs more security functions and data hosting capabilities. Customer support is not available globally and needs better SLAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epik?

Not much to be honest, except maybe the first few minutes after buying it. Then I spent hours trying to figure out how to configure it. I guess their interface is modern in comparison to some other regirstrars. But even then when I tried to set DNS records I got no feedback to weather it had succeeded or failed. The help sections explaning how to accoomplish this did not have any section covering cases like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epik?

Sold me a non-ICANN approved TDL domain. Couldnt do anything with it except redirect, their interface wont let me set any records. And when I try to transfer it out I get an error.

Waste of my money, buying a domain that doenst exist. I was terribly dissapointed because it was a one letter domain! Too good to be true I guess. It seems they have poor management or oversight on what TLDs they can sell and maintain. I dont see how this can possibly happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epik:

Be careful if you havent seen the TLD before, check if it is valid and they are accredited to sell it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epik solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was meant for a personal blog, but because it's not recongnized by ICANN I couldnt use it. No benefits whatsoever, a waste of time and money, and disapointment. To be fair I didnt pay much for it as it was on sale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epik?

It is easier for Web Content Administrators and or Businesses which run mostly using E-commerce techniques online to be smart bosses of their own web domains and or smart employees for their own company domains. The upsides of using web domain registration is that companies during smart lockdown uses online communications using Emails registered with a or any web domain for business or official orders or maintenance work etc. using email exchange server registered under a web domain without the need to be in contact with any personnel obeying safety first check. And not to forget online orders using company e-commerce portal online to take orders and deliver them to the customers without personally in contact with the customer at a customer specified place with customer approval for receival confirmation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epik?

It can used to make a profile page that the least it is helpful in show casing persons profile to the employer. It is problematic if the web domain registration service is out for during maintenance or upgrades and or due to our own and or company debit cards not working for renewing registration. So, my suggestion is to include all types of banks like microfinance banks like in Pakistan Easypaisa, JazzCash, Paymax / Askari Wallet, Upaisa and include may be immediately to enter NIC # of person incharge and it shows all the banks the persons accounts are in world wide or internationally and locally and the person selects the proper payment bank after using the most advance login mechanism system like face, voice, password, keys from banks and not to forget palm or thumb recognition all together and doing the payment. Making this or use facebook like platform for logging in and doing payment. The person can enter or import and or enter all the accounts it holds world wide centrally and can access information centrally even if the banks systems are in a distributed network. etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epik:

Having easier Payment methods both locally and internationally for positive business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epik solving and how is that benefiting you?

If payment channels are shut during lockdown so it becomes expensive to buy prepaid cards and then pay for it internationally. Benefits are we don't have to work hard while using manual things which are on a desktop pc based and or in a ethernet lan using IIS (Internet Information Server) for ASP .Net pages and or Apache Server for PHP in a unregistered and or system which is just in a facility and can not be accessed if you have big company and leased lines can be used for if the system is in MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), but it might be expensive using previous technologies. Domain based systems can be accessed worldwide without the need of keeping distributed systems with just having a good internet connection and savings are immense as maintenance cost is lower than keeping a distributed system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
