Re: Registrant comparison?

We have used CheapDomains (generally $38 / 2 years for .au and $48 / 
2 years for international) and they happily tried to help us when we 
rang them. We have also used ClicknGO (around $39 / 2 years for 
international and $29 / 2 years for .au, although .com.au is more). 
Both have web based interfaces which allow you to change registration 
details - as far as I remember no trouble using Safari.


Once the domain is set up you do not normally need much service from 
the registrar except an email when the domain is about to expire, to 
remind you to renew. Most do this - it is in their interest to do so.

Steven,

I use domaincentral.com.au - $12.50pa for a .com and $38 for two  
years for a .com.au domain.  This is cheaper than Directnic.com,  
which is the registrar I used to use in the US ($19AUS for a .com  
domain).


Once you've registered a domain with domaincentral and parked it,  
there is no cost to change the name servers that handle your domain,  
so you can handle all web/mail traffic yourself.  Other registrars  
have a range of ways of charging you for this ability.  The only  
drawback to Domaincentral is that they have a one-way support model -  
that is, you can ask, but they don't respond.  But their automated  
tools work well, once you figure them out.  If you think tech support  
is going to be important, I'd look wider.


I use Safari with both of these registrars, haven't had problems.   
Don't think you will find mac-friendliness is much of an issue, they  
all just have web interfaces.


Glenn.
