Registrar experts, get in
what do you think of channelislandhosting I did some research but can't find trusted info about them.
why particularly this registrar? It's the cheapest ccTLD registrar (according to tld-list.com) am interested in.
like 50% cheaper than the second cheaper.
did you do business with them before?
Comments
seems like nobody knows them, so I guess ill ignore them.
A company that sells website design, using a prebuilt whmcs template. Will pass: https://www.channelislandhosting.net/website-design.php
yea I agree. seems ill go the expensive way or just bail.
the domain is just luxury but cheap for 4 letters (including TLD)
I just use https://www.channelisles.net/ for anything from them. Mainly as they helped me recover a domain that my previous registrar charged for renewal but didn't actually renew.
I have a few .gg/.je domains with them. No complaints personally.
As just a domain registrar I think they're fine (I don't use them for anything else), but I've only been with them since January.
I was referred to them by a friend who has been using them for 3 years though.
Maybe they're just the middlemen, get that % profit per design client from another agency/company. Making money any way possible.
did they ask you to submit an address within Jersy? or the domain will be suspended.
Registering a 2 letter/char domain?
I already did, but know the asking me to change the registrant details otherwise it will be suspended.
I never heard them before
Maybe i'm wrong, but these prices seems not really specials for me. There is some new TLD with low price (.party, .win, .top etc), but on this website £24.29 GBP. for example Namesilo, Porkbun, etc is cheaper at the moment (registration and renewal too). They prices in GBP, which is expensive (exchange rate) than USD, EUR. I think, they are resellers (maybe Tucows?), because they main domain has been registered with them. I not see them on the 'ICANN Accredited Registrars' list.
You should use a known (reliable) & accredited registrar.
I think they are under https://enrapture.gg which I think is a sister company.
No? I'm using my real address in Norway without issues.
As far as I know, anyone can register
example.gg
orexample.je
without being based in either Guernsey or Jersey.yea that's what I thought, not sure what they on about tho.
channelislandhosting.net are not cheapest among all registrars. Its just they are running a special promo for some gTLDs. I'll rather register with well-known, reputed U.S/EU registrar than this! Put your domain(s) in secure hands than registering with some unknown companies!
.gg became gTld, so no need for identity check
I built a page that shows the domain prices for all the LEB/LET hosts in realtime if you want to use that to compare with. You can find it here https://dah85.com/domainprices.html
Nope. All two letter extensions are cctld.
https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/gg.html
yeah, but from iana.org even .co or .io is ccTLD. but they serve as a gTLD
