"NameSilo is Cheap and Safe - I Trust Them"
What do you like best about NameSilo?

Honestly, I really love their price for .com domains: $8.99 per year. I like their easy-to-use interface that allows you to manage all of the domains in one place. I like how good they are about features that other places would normally charge you money to have. I like how they have a live chat and that you can actually push your domains from one NameSilo account to another. I like how if you actually don't need the domain you registered/purchased with NameSilo you can sell it easily from your account or just drop it altogether without having to sell it. Transferring a domain to NameSilo is also super easy and I feel like my domains are really secure with NameSilo as the registrar.

A place I really trust: LLC University, recommended NameSilo to me as what they use for their domains, and so I like how I'm using the same place as the 100% and utterly trustworthy LLC University. ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

I don't dislike anything about them. They really work well for me. I noticed that if and only if you are going to sell a domain on their site, they will need to fill out a W9 form, but this is normal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy to knowingly permit fraud"
What do you like best about NameSilo?

There's absolutely nothing to like about Namesilo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

Namesilo are the registrar for a large number of domains being used to host fraudulent LEGO websites. These websites are advertising discount LEGO using compromised Facebook accounts. They appear to be conducting credit card fraud.

Namesilo have been repeatedly told about these sites and whilst they have eventually suspended some of the domains, they refuse to take action against others which are pointing to identical web sites.

Namesilo require that all reports are made via an online form and any emails sent to their published abuse@ email address are ignored or receive a boiler plate response telling you to use the form.

Some reports made via the form have mysteriously disappeared and Namesilo claim that they cannot find them. They refuse to investigate this or to do anything about domains which they have been repeatedly informed of via email. They seem to enjoy being obstructive and unhelpful.

Namesilo have also done nothing to proactively investigate all of these linked domains, identify other domains, or close down the account(s) which are constantly registering new domains expressly for the purpose of fraud.

Essentially, as long as they get paid, Namesilo don't care and are happy to permit fraud. Presumably this is why they appear to be the registrar of choice for fraudsters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact they are among those few registrars that offer very affordable prices and don't charge extra for WHOIS protection. Very smooth purchase and renewal process. It supports multiple payment gateways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

Nothing much here but yes their design is bit outdated and the UI reminds of old websites. Although this has never caused any problems for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the domain registration it's currently limited to check 10 tld extentions of choice not so bad but could be a little more since there are tons of extentions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
