What do you like best about NameSilo?

Namesilo is without any doubt the cheapest domain registration i know, there are many other domain registrars who might offer a domain for one or two dollars but they got huge renewal charges or the discount is only applicable to the first domain. when it comes to namesilo the domain registration costs around seven dollars for a .com domain which is really cheap. there is also additional discounts available when you buy domains in bulk. they offer free privacy along with the domain registration which is not popular around other registrars who usually charges fees around ten dollars for the service.

the domain management tools are also great ,there is a domain protection service which serures your account and domains from getting hijacked. there are DNS Management tools, Privacy management, domain locking and much more. another option you have with namesilo is the ability to park the domain with 100% revenue to the user which isn't common. they also have their own marketplace for selling and buying domains. as for domain name registration, its really simple you just have to select the domains you need and checkout, there is a huge list of TLD's available from which you can choose the perfect name for your website.

There are many features that other registrars charge for that NameSilo gives you for free, including WHOIS privacy, parking, redirects, and email forwarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

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

I keep my domains at NameSilo because it's the cheapest registrar out there, has good customer service, and is not owned by an internet behemoth such as Google, CloudFlare, GoDaddy or EIG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NameSilo?

I thought their pricing was decent, and I had read they had Chat support... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

Interface and console are NOT user-friendly. Knowledgebase and help files are mostly useless. Takes hours to figure out how to do something unless you're a pro.

They provide EMAIL SUPPORT ONLY as are NEVER ONLINE FOR CHAT - even in the middle of the day. No phone support whatsoever either. Even in a crunch when begging for help in email. Takes way to long to get responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NameSilo:

I saw their new site soon to be released... it's not much better for the API. I would find another company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NameSilo?

I think the characteristic feature of this company is the focus on affordability. They offer domain registration for a very competitive price. They also provide a very good control panel to manage your domains including the level of privacy in whois queries, dns settings, domain forwarding, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

While they have a good response time on their support system the quality of responses are not effective most of the time. You need to go through a back and forth lengthy discussion to solve your issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NameSilo:

I think it is a good option for the money you pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a company what needed registering a considerable number of domains just for research purpose, the cost and accessibility were two main factors for us that NameSilo provided both for us. As a technical company we didn't need that much support from them so the lack of a good quality support system was less of a concern for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NameSilo?

Been using Namesilo for quite a long time and they are truly a transparent and efficient domain provider. You have all and more of the feature you would expect for a more known name but in a professional and direct way. You can trust in their service expecting that your purchase value is safe and is considered as important, no matter if you only have 1 or 1000 domains. Prices are low, sustainable and only vary prior external circunstances. Definitely your #1 choice for centralizing your domains Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

That they don´t support my specific country domain, but I know is out of their competence. Miss a save searchs or favorites domains for later purchase. Obtaining know and then discount coupons or less number of purchase s to obtain a discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NameSilo:

Stop looking in other domain provider and give it a try, you would be satisfied with their simplicity and transparent policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Central purchase and management of domains for clients and personal interests. Obtaining the best price for maximizing benefits when managing clients services. No looking in every provider and wasting time comparing prices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NameSilo?

the pricing provided by namesilo is absolutely outstanding, there is no other service I've come across provides domains at those rates. they also do not restrict the pricing to the first domain registration like provided by godaddy and there are additional discounts when you order in bulk, above 49 domains which are cool. the support is absolutely great, i mean they are one of the best I've come across. they replied quickly to my questions and very satisfied with them. another thing about them is the user interface, you can manage your domain very easily when registered with them, there are shortcuts to every setting like nameservers and dns. the DNS management option provides you with a wide variety of options and templates that you can apply to the domain. another interesting feature is the domain defender service that helps you save your domain from theft and is very essential where domain theft and piracy is everywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

they do not provide hosting which is really bad considering that most of the other major domain registrars also provide hosting. also, they provide very limited offers comparing to other major providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NameSilo:

when it comes to domain registration, they provide the cheapest domains in the market when you don't use any coupons. also they dont provide hosting so if youre a newbie who get into the market i recommend you to stay away cause you could easily mess up the dns settings although their support is pretty awesome and really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Registering domain name with them. they are the cheapest domain registrar i've come across and the support is also pretty impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NameSilo?

The prices of their domain name are very cheap as NameSilo offers a very interesting price. As a matter of fact, I once search for a .com domain name which normally costs around $11 but on NameSilo website, it was just $7 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

I haven't found none for now. Although i would like NameSilo to enable one to sell his domain names from another registrar on their website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NameSilo:

If you are looking to buy domain names especially .com and .org for a very cheap prices, you should give Namesilo a try Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NameSilo?

NameSilo is the cheapest registrar out there. Their control panel is insanely simple and lightning fast. They provide FREE lifetime WHOIS protection with no attempted upselling. This has been one of the best registrars I've worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NameSilo?

Their website looks pretty out of date and it gives you the impression that it's a little spammy. Still, it's extremely fast compared to dashboards like Namecheap so I'd rather take speed and Web 2.0 design over "pretty" but slow like Namecheap's interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NameSilo:

This is one of the best registrars I've used. Namecheap and Hover seem to be lauded as the best ones out there at the moment but NameSilo is, in my opinion, the best out there. It's currently the underdog since it doesn't have the presence that other companies have but it gets the job done better than anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

NameSilo is a hassle-free registrar. I like that they don't try to be a registrar, a web host, a marketing company, etc. They just do cheap domain registration, and that's all I'm looking for in a registrar. I used to register my previous company's domains on NameSilo and I will be migrating my personal ones from Namecheap once they are up for renewal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
