Re: OT: Non-Israeli domain name registration.

[אורי]

There is less competition and less money in the .il market (in total, not
per domain) therefore prices are higher and service quality is lower. I
think there are hundreds of .com etc. registrars and only about 10 .il
registrars. If you need the .il I'm currently using www.box.co.il, if not I
would recommend an international domain name. There are lots of extensions
but the most popular are com/net/org. I would recommend having at least one
of .com/.org version of your domain name, depending if you are for profit
or non-profit.

Thanks for your input! 


I do not really care for Hebrew or NIS payments, but do for the
  service & bottom line. As long as the service is good (English
  and/or Hebrew, via email, web-ticket, phone or fax :-) I could
  care less. Most impotent is avoiding those interfaces that flash
  & up-sell more then serve the point you originally came to use
  them.



Sadly, it looks like with an IL-registrar you only get to pay
  more & get the same or less service wise. Really hope someone
  can debunk me on that.

was a bit more expensive than the cheapest options abroad,
but the ability to pay in NIS with an Israeli (-only) credit
card, and be able to talk with someone over a phone, in
Hebrew, made it, for me. The transfer and renew was just
fine (although did take some time and work, also because I
had to ask the previous registrar to allow transfer but also
because they had some mistakes etc.). Didn't hear from them
since then, and do not expect to hear - the yearly "update

of enom.com, which IIUC is a
rather large registrar that only has sub- ones, does not

Last time I had to renew my only (.org) domain I decided to transfer it to
box.co.il, which is also a .il registrar (which I why I knew them). It was
a bit more expensive than the cheapest options abroad, but the ability to
pay in NIS with an Israeli (-only) credit card, and be able to talk with
someone over a phone, in Hebrew, made it, for me. The transfer and renew
was just fine (although did take some time and work, also because I had to
ask the previous registrar to allow transfer but also because they had some
mistakes etc.). Didn't hear from them since then, and do not expect to hear
- the yearly "update your details at icann" emails include links to "
name-services.com", and the last one was also sent From: there. They are a
sub-registrar of enom.com, which IIUC is a rather large registrar that only
has sub- ones, does not work with end customers directly.

Best regards,

Thanks, 


Appreciate the inputs (Namesilo, Gandi, Hover). Choosing out of 3
  is a lot easier.

I've been a happy gandi customer for 15 years.

https://www.gandi.net/en

Not sure how their prices compare but I've had no reason to look 
elsewhere.


Cheers,
Geoff.

Re: OT: Non-Israeli domain name registration.

I recommend NameSilo. Best prices and reliability.
https://new.namesilo.com/

Avoid GoDaddy. Unless it's a cheap domain and you want the cheapest prices
and then use them.

Notice that many websites just use GoDaddy with their own brand name.
