Thanks so much! I have been slowly moving all my services away from IpowerWeb and this helped a lot!

Justin, thank you for the information on transferring a domain away from ipower. I was on the verge of pulling my hair out trying to accomplish this for a client when I found your blog. I followed your directions and it was done in an instant!

Bryan, good to hear from you. Sorry I did not catch this sooner and respond… I’m actually doing a blog related to just that.

Anyway, Fabulous.com is absolutely splendid as a registrar. Not only in their security but in their level of support… Not to mention the absolute cleanest and easy to navigate registrar website around. So for me to try to be a reseller for a company I wouldn’t use myself… well, you know where I’m going.

I don’t know a whole heck of a lot about Tucows but I did send them a public letter that was never responded to. I’ve taken a look at their website and their reseller plans and they we’re just more than I wanted to get involved in. Their prices are also a bit steeper than what I want to pay to resell domain names to my customers.

Another thing I look at is reliability and security. It’s no secret that Tucows worked with a company called Registerfly. Registerfly will go down in history as a company that changed to entire face of the domain name industry. You can read more about them at http://www.registerflies.com.

Anyway, when Registerfly lost and stole domain names from customers, they were a reseller of Tucows and Enom. This Registerfly company brought the attention of the White House investigators. Do a search on it.

Anyway, my only contention with Tucows, is that after all of this, they are now helping Registerfly get back on their feet. They actually continue to support the Registerfly that raped and exploited the entire domain industry under the nose of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Politically speaking, I do not agree with this. To my knowledge, approximately 355,000 (or so) domain names were lost due to Registerfly… and they are now again the Reseller for Tucows?

I run a business and and involved in domain names and was involved during the collapse the shook portions of thea white house and all of ICANN.

Do with your domain that what you which. As for me and my family, Fabulous has prove to be the best! One day I’ll do both an article and video about why.

When it all boils down to it and with the systems currently in place; it is still possible for any registrar or reseller to collapse. Infighting within a company can cause havoc.

Personally speaking, Tucows can kiss my behind for what they are currently doing with Registerfly.

Justin,

This is Bryan from PayPal. Well, formally from PayPal (long story), but I have a question. My domain is up for renewal, and on the phone (when you called me at PayPal), you told me about Fabulous.com and how Tucows, my current registrar, isn’t so good. Can you get back to me and let me know the benefits of switching over to Fabulous?

Thanks!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I spent almost 2 hours surfing through their interface for a client, myself. I did a search for “EPP” (also found nothing) and finally searched for “code.” It came back with a transfer out procedure. I Power recommends to wait for the receiving registrar to submit the transfer request. (Because without an EPP code, that’s going to go very well.)

Ipower.com is really bad serivce. Be careful! Yes, they are cheap if you can be patient of their bad service. Please go ahead! Honestly, really be careful of this company.

Thanks for your post. I’m a web developer helping a state agency transfer their hosting away from iPower. Thanks to my interaction with tech support on this very issue today, I’m also getting them off of iPower’s domain registration.

iPower’s tech support is horrible!

People believe there is a God but they do not serve God so in there mind God doesn’t do anything for them because they don’t help themselves nor do they think the ‘bad’ things in life are what God has given them and not things they have brought on about therselves!

IPowerWeb’s new vDeck is not an improvement, in my opinion, and they have also been allowing consistent hacking of some sites by Eastern European organized crime without doing anything about it. Their technical communication is bizzare, to say the least.

Thanks to your info, I successfully unlocked my domain today and am in the process of transferring out.

Thanks,

Chris
