I agree with the comments below. I found this site on Google looking for Namesilo's phone number. I called the number and was off the phone 3 minutes later after getting all my questions answered.
Customer Service Scoreboard
My web host suggested I use Name Silo and I'm glad they did. I had used a few other registrars with other projects, but will use Name Silo from now on. Refreshing to see a domain registrar that stays out of your way, instead of getting in your way with constant offers for things I don't need. Give 'em a shot!
Found this web site looking for a phone number for Godaddy and noticed all of the positive comments about Name Silo so I decided to give them a shot. I figured these reviews must be planted or something since domain registrars never get such raving feedback, so I transferred 3 domains just to test the system. Much to my surprise, and pleasure, the process was just as advertised - simple, straightforward and totally transparent (not to mention cheap). Not sure why Name Silo is not more popular yet, as I have never heard of them prior to seeing this site, but they will be. I just hope they don't raise their prices when they get bigger. Needless ot say that I'll be moving my entire domain portfolio as they come up for expiration. Give them a shot yourself...
Just heard about name silo and called them up. Surprised not only that they had someone pick up the phone after hours, but that the person I spoke with was able to answer some very technical questions. I am still deciding whether or not to test them out, but I can report that their customer service is something that could lead me in that direction. Will post again once I try their service.
4/23/12: I wanted to thank Skyler in support for helping me this afternoon. I've been a namesilo customer since the beginning but never had a reason to call until today. I got 3 of my domains renewed even though I let them expire, and I was done and off the phone within a few minutes. Keep up the great work!
Free at last.
Free at last.
Thank God Almighty I'm free at last!
Free of Godaddy and their evil clutches and now happily with Name Silo. Godaddy tried to put some locks on my domains to make it impossible to move, but the people at Name Silo told me just what to do to get my domains transferred and it was all done in a few hours.
Thanks Name Silo and GOODBYE Godaddy!
Moved 25 domains to Name Silo to test if their system and service were as good as I read... and they are! Most discount domain providers sacrifice support, features or cut other corners, but Name Silo has somehow found a way not to. The only drawback I can see is that they do not offer hosting which some people may find easier to get from their registrar.
I'll try to remember to post back here if anythinig changes, but, for now, it looks like I've finally found a place to consolidate all of our domains.
Just transferred 60 domains to Namesilo from godaddy since godaddy supports SOPA. Found a great coupon on their Facebook page and gave them a shot. The transfers only took about an hour to finish and their support email person helped me with one of them that godaddy wasn't allowing to leave. Wish I would have found Namesilo years ago!! :)
The company I work for recently tasked me with the project to consolidate all of our domains with Name Silo. This was a daunting task since I had to move domains from almost 10 different companies and didn't really know where to start. I got on Name Silo's online chat and within a few minutes they helped me understand the process and what I neede to do in order for the domains to transfer. They even gave me a coupon which made my boss even happier. Even though some of the companies we left seemed to make the process harder than it needed to be, all of our domains have been moved and I can see why my company decided on Name Silo to be the place we keep our domains, and why the feedback on this very page is so good.
I've read a lot of good things about Name Silo so I tested out a few domain transfers with them, and I have to say that everything I read is true. Their system is fast and customer friendly and is completely free of the annoying popups and in-your-face selling of the other registrars I have used. I am the first to be critical of registrars who never seem to get things right, but I honestly have not found anything I would change about Name Silo so far... except that they don't offer hosting or SSL. And no, I do not work for Name Silo, just happy to find a place to leave my experience with them so far so others will give them a shot too.
No problems at all so far. I had a few questions about transferring my domains and getting the transfer codes from Go Daddy. Even though it wasn't their responsibility, the person I spoke with at Name Silo pointed me in the right direction and stayed on the online chat until everything was squared away.
I have been using Godaddy for years, but after I discovered how easy it is to use NameSilo I will be using them exclusively moving forward. I like the feature that shows caches your searches so that when you finally decide to pull the trigger on some domain names it's easy to load up your cart.
I was apprehensive about NameSilo since they are fairly new so thought I'd place a call to make sure it was a legit operation. I spoke to someone that answered all of my questions (even the trick ones). I'm not sure how they offer such low prices and still find ways to employ customer support people that know what they are talking about. I'll report back if things go down hill after they've been operating a little while longer, but so far I'm sold.
Hi Dick. Thanks for giving us a shot and happy to hear you're experience so far has been positive. We will definitely maintain our high levels of customer service. To address your concern as to how we can do this, the answer is in our unwavering focus to only offer domain-related services and not over-stretch ourselves into expensive ancillary services such as hosting.
We hope you will continue to use NameSilo and always feel free to let us know with any questions.

They seem pretty good. Good enough for me to transfer all my domains to them. Hopefully they do not screw up like godaddy did (was a customer of GD for 5 years).
The free domain privacy rules - I always hated paying for that bull%^&* at godaddy - why the hell should I pay to not get whois spam?
As a long-time customer of GoDaddy, imagine my surprise when I tried NameSilo and completed my order within 4 minutes! This company gets it. No offers for things I don't want. They stay out of the way and let me get on with things. The one time I had to contact them to find out how to add glue records, and the person I chatted with had an answer within 1 minute. And they didn't even try to sell me a logo or a new web site.
NameSilo is what every domain registrar should be... they have great prices, a no-hassle experience and timely customer support. This is a formula that will serve them well if they can maintain it - we've all seen how other registrars have gone downhill as soon as they get too big. I really hope NameSilo isn't the same.
We are proud to recognize the companies providing the best customer service each year within their industry.
