In a poll that was not as celebrated as best registrar, Dynadot won the title for something many registrars find important. Safety.
Things like a registrars’ overall security. Do they have a strong Financial position. How do they handle your privacy when prompted by say a government agency. Do you feel safest when it comes to redemption periods and quick payment and refunds.
This poll was set up with parameters that most said they wanted in the best registrar poll.
More than one vote, (they had up to three).

Dynadot 47 vote(s)

Irony it Godaddy got 30 votes and above namesilo. In my career, I have heard about Network Solutions and Godaddy domain theft. Recently escrow.com case. GoDaddy is the worst registrar when it’s come to the domain safety.
Domainer says
In a nutshell 47 votes givr you top spot, means the sample is so small that its worthless!!!
Eugene says
Agree. The poll should have run longer.
NamePros Moderator says
This poll was scheduled by Raymond to run for much less time than the “best registrar” poll, which is why there were less votes.
However, 180 votes in this industry is still a sufficient sample size to determine who would have won even if it ran longer, especially given how few fake votes can take place in NamePros polls (unlike polls run elsewhere where anyone can easily manipulate the poll results).
NamePros also has new features coming to NamePros polls that will make them equivalent to, or surpass, any other online poll service out there.
We hope the pollster for the registrar poll(s) next year will be impressed. 🙂

Who runs Dynadot? Are they located in China or Russia?
I like to know who the faces are before I do business with them.

Its quite vague to decide with a short poll. Recently Epik won the Namepros 2020 Best Registar Title.
I have seen 900+ Domain investors around the world participated there.
Even, Godaddy recently faced several report that says GD steal user domains. GD has several domain lost issue in migrating from Uniregistry to GD.
This poll meant nothing.
