Until recently, the central database for USA-based domains was controlled by a monopoly known as Network Solutions (some call it "Internic" and as of few months ago they have a new name, "Verisign"). 

    That monopoly has been broken. Now there is competition. That has brought improved services and lower prices to those who choose the new, more responsive registrars.

    A Verisign transfer involves exchanging long, complicated email forms that are virtually illegible because of their computer jargon and must be filled out exactly one way. Even a single typo or key stroke in the wrong place and their computer keeps bouncing back the same form, over and over, a new copy appended to the earlier ones until your head is spinning.

    For example, let's say your current annual registration still has 3, 5, or even 11 months to go before renewal. Transfer to us and your term is automatically extended by the amount of your open balance, plus one additional year, free of charge.

    So, if you have 8 months to go on your current registration, transfer to our Registrar and your registration is paid through for the next 20 months (8 + 12).

    But price alone is not the reason to transfer.

    Keep in mind that you are registered on the exact same database, controlled by the exact same international agencies, but we have made the process of managing your domain registration much, much simpler. It takes less than 2 minutes using the Domain Manager on our web site to change your address, move from one hosting company to another, appoint different individuals to manage your technical support or handle your billing.

    The process is simple. A few clicks and you are done. Equally important, the new registration system is just as secure as any other registrar's service.
