Fast Growing, Independent Domain Registrar Enters Upper 1 Percent
Scottsdale, Arizona, August 22, 2017... Popular U.S.-based domain registrar NameSilo announced today that it has surpassed 1 million active domains registered by its customers following 7 consecutive years of growth. This puts NameSilo in the top 1% of the nearly 3,000 ICANN-accredited registrars in the world with a domain increase of over 35% in just the last 12 months.

Of the other 30 domain registrars with over 1 million domains under management, NameSilo has reached the milestone faster than most, and notably, it has done so organically and by word-of-mouth, and without a reliance on aggressive promotions, advertising and couponing.

"Since our launch in 2010, we have established ourselves as one of the most-trusted and secure registrars catering to an array of different customers," said Michael Goldfarb, co-founder of NameSilo. "In the prior 12 months of statistics made available from ICANN, NameSilo added the 10th-most total domains and the 6th-most .com domains. This continues a long run of being among the fastest-growing registrars in the world, and our company's growth continues to expand at an increasing rate."

Like all registrars, NameSilo's customers can both register new domains and transfer domains from other registrars. As a measure of value delivered, NameSilo has transferred in nearly 410,000 domains from other registrars, while fewer than 43,000 have transferred out from NameSilo to other registrars. This 10:1 ratio helps verify that NameSilo is preferred and that it maintains exceedingly high customer retention.

NameSilo's growth is primarily attributable to providing intuitive domain registration and management tools, responsive and never outsourced customer service provided via email, chat and phone, technical expertise, best-in-class pricing, and free add-ons that other registrars routinely charge for like WHOIS privacy, ICANN fees, email forwarding, enhanced account security options, parking and more.

"NameSilo customers know that they will not be shown one price to 'get in the door' and another when it comes time to renew. They come to appreciate that we never play that game, that we can be counted upon and that their domains are secure" added Goldfarb. "It is a privilege to be embraced by consumers and rewarded with a level of loyalty that continues to accelerate growth. We will continue to listen to our customers and work hard to respond to their feedback and improve upon what we offer today."

Among the tools and services NameSilo has added over the years are things such as many top level domains, one-click technical integration to third-party companies for end users, email services and detailed reporting for small businesses, and a cadre of free investor tools and a low-commission full-service domain Marketplace for domain professionals. No matter who you are, or what your business, NameSilo offers everything you need for the easy management of your domains, and at consistently low everyday prices without having to hunt down coupons or wait for special offers.

"In an industry where people have grown accustomed to misleading pricing tactics, bait-and-switch offers, security breaches and confusing interfaces, NameSilo's transparent approach continues to spur rapid growth and we expect to become an even larger force in the domain registration market during the years to come," added Michael McCallister, co-founder of NameSilo.

It looks like their optional two factor authentication works along the same lines as Nominet's, so if you're sorted for Nom you should be sorted for them too.
 
Just opened an account - all very straightforward.

If you wish to use them to sell - their commission is 7.5% and there are no listing fees. You can List domains from any registrar (domains do not need to be registered with NameSilo).
 
Good security. You can set a different password when making DNS changes.

No, the domains have to be registered at NS.

NS offers payment plans and wire fees are 3%.

Sorry, you've lost me. I don't think I ever suggested otherwise.

What I meant was that they use Authy, just like Nominet do. So if you've set it up for Nominet, you should be able to add another account to the app and use it for NS too.
 
@sunroomguy stated you could list domains not at NS on the Marketplace. That is inaccurate.

You can use Authy or Google Authenticator. Many companies use similar 2FA apps @Edwin.

If anyone is interested in trying Namesilo out can you send me a PM? I'll send you a $1 off coupon code good for reg or transfer. :)
