The cost of managing a domain portfolio is like compound interest — the more domains you add, the higher the renewal costs climb year after year.
It’s tempting to hold onto every domain ‘just in case,’ but cutting domains without a proper risk assessment can open the door to serious security issues, as this article points out.
Hi, you could have blog.yourdomain.tld and yourdomain.tld in the same certificate for free.
edit: to make it simple you have the right of one sub domain and the root domain without subdomain. As soon as you need more than one, you will need to go for a wildcard (which is not free).
True, it's not the cheapest but EuroDNS is more service oriented with a free mailbox, a free ssl certificate, 4 name servers with Anycast nodes. And the renewals remain usually at the same price, and not the first year under the real cost price as some does in the industry.
Former EuroDNS customer here. While you guys do offer Open-Xchange for free, it's the limited version lacking many features. Also, last year your engineers disabled SSL on your open-Xchange server for a few days until someone complained and you re-enabled it. [0]
Also I found your web management interface to be difficult to navigate. I often had to go looking in your KB to find answers for how to do simple things like update A records (Namecheap does this much better).
The one positive thing I will say from my time as a EuroDNS customer is that you do allow people to register European domains that require residence, acting as the Technical contact for customers who are not living in Europe.
But overall, the higher prices and below average service weren't a compelling reason to stick with you guys. Other registrars like Namecheap also offer free SSL certificates for new registrations and multiple DNS servers.
Hi @dingaling, I'm working at EuroDNS and I confirm you that this is not only a promotion, but it will be free for the lifetime of your domain at EuroDNS.
We wanted to provide an interface where people not in the domain industry could realize the huge number of domains that are now available on the market. The aim is not to give a 100% accurate search result but to give a quick overview of what is still available or not on a single string. The search is based on zone files and other static sources which don't include the premium names nor the "Trademark Claims"
Thx for the feedback, Steve. I know, this is part of the side effect of using zone files as main data source. We tried to import most of the blacklisted domain lists we were able to find. Concerning the premium unfortunately the registries didn't want to share their list with us as we are not an official accredited registrar.
