In @DNAcademy, we’re registrar agnostic -- use who you like. Aside from a special promo that @Uniregistry graciously gives DNA members, we haven& #39;t promoted any registrar. Uni is great, but I’ve heard great things about @Dynadot. This thread will review their service. 1/n
First off, I wanted a registrar that is partnered w both @Afternic (Premium Network for greater exposure & Fast Transfer) and @Sedo (so we don& #39;t have to do their time consuming owner verification process). @DVDJKingpin narrowed, & I eliminated those often complained about. 3/n
Turns out I had one domain name at Dynadot, and --upon review -- the interface looked good. I then transferred two domain names into Dynadot and the process was smooth and clear to understand. Easy and quick transfers in. 4/n
Aside from .com domain names, I also like .io domain names for which I pay $35.99 at GoDaddy. They& #39;re $28.75 at Dynadot. Full price list: https://www.dynadot.com/domain/tlds.html">https://www.dynadot.com/domain/tl... 6/n
When my domain names transferred into Dynadot, I updated the DNS and forwarded them both to a page on one of my websites. It all updated quickly and easily. The process was well communicated I was updated throughout. 7/n
Dynadot has clear procedures on setting-up domains for sale on Afternic and Sedo:

So those were my big five needs:
1. Afternic & Sedo fast transfer partners
2. Security of my domain name assets
3. Competitive pricing without asking for favors
4. Automated systems that work without error
5. Clear communication in their systems and support
So far so good. 13/n
