Optinom.com is only a reseller of domain names and I did find that they have pretty good rates. I know people here who have used their service and were not happy about support so maybe we all need a larger target group to verify their support services.
I believe anyone giving domain names for free will always restrict the transfer of domain names to another registrar. I also am convinced that Optinom must not have any control over that as it must be a registrar ordained deal. I dont agree with this policy but then thats a whole new discussion thread altogether wot?
I have been using sales.bookdomain.net for all my needs and suffice to say I have been incredibly happy. What I did notice immediately was that they both are resellers for the same registrar - I deduced that from the fact that they both use the same template for the registrations sites - LOL!.
Still, I like these guys coz they are courteous and are very prompt with their replies to emails. They are based in India so maybe time zone wise they work better for me, but in todays world I dont really think thats too much of a problem, do you?
I did a quick check on rates for a particular domain name, selecting "Check Availability in all Extensions" and wonder of wonders, got varying rates across different extentions. I suppose they all work their own margins based on the volumes they sell of different extentions or the rates the registrar offers them.
