| Just in case your wondering whether
it's better to have all your domains are one registrar or
spreading them out on multiple registrars will give you the
pro's and con's of both. One Domain Registrar Pro's:
1. Easy management - obviously only have to go
to one place manage your domain names.
2. Bulk Pricing Power - Usually get discounts
for bulk purchases.
3. Learning Curve - only have to learn one
system so it's quicker.
One Domain Registrar Con's:
1. Disappearing Registrar - If they disappear
you may not get your domain names back for awhile and possibly
forever.
2. No Choice - If you find something really
annoying about the registrar you are stuck with them unless you
take the time and expense to move all your domain names.
3. Sales - If you stay with one domain registrar
you won't be able to take advantage of sales from other domain
registrars.
Multiple Registrars Pro's:
1. Choice - you can have some domain names on your
highly secured registrar and others on the domain registrar with
better prices.
2. Sales - Chance to take advantage of sales
offers from different domain registrars.
3. Diversified Risk - Multiple registrars lessen
the risk to your domain portfolio if something goes wrong with
the domain registrar.
Multiple Registrars Con's:
1. Domain Management Nightmare - You have to
track which domains are on which domain registrar and keep track
of renewals and any correspondence.
2. Pricing - Other than sales
specials you will probably get better pricing buying in bulk
instead of spreading out your domain name purchases.
3. Learning Curve - You will have to learn to
navigate multiple domain registrar interfaces which will take
time. On the other hand you will also learn a lot along
the way.
At the end of the day it's up to you. Personally we
recommend that you use just one domain registrar and as you grow
into domaining then you can think about spreading your domains
out if you really want to. |
