Many times the discussion about companies in the industry centers on who is most liked or who has the cheapest prices. But what about trust? You might have your feelings change when it comes to favorite, but trust should be the foundation.
To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.

For example your current favorite company might raise prices, sparking a feeling of discontent where you are now angry at them. When it comes to things like security, data protection, access to your funds those center around trust. I think for most those things should rank higher than a renewal price going up thirty cents per domain name.
I was having a conversation with a friend about trust specifically, and it was his words that kinda prompted this article.
He said he realized that the companies he felt he liked the best, were not the companies he trusted the most. For example he had moved away from using Escrow.com for other services that had less stringent KYC and faster transaction times. BUT, interestingly he realized he TRUSTED Escrow.com more than those companies. Looking around at the past few months he is now going back to Escrow.com for anything $5K or higher.
That experience falls in line with what another person told me years back. They did not like GoDaddy because of higher prices, but since GoDaddy was a large public company where they could go through their SEC filings, felt they were held more accountable, he trusted them more than some smaller registrar that he knew little about.
So which companies do you trust the most in the domain industry?

I am in the same GoDaddy boat. I hate their prices, I hate I have to pay for DDC but I trust them more than any other registrar. It’s not even close on trust. I have no idea who the CEO’s of other registrars are. I am sure they are great people but I know little about them. How do I see their finances?
I don’t trust any of the domain companies fully, but Escrow.com is the closest.
Epik is the company i distrust the most. By a wide margin!
I trust, Escrow dot com, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Dan.com, Sedo.

The sad thing we are enduring from Godaddy is that it is problem of plenty, huge company but lesser care towards their clients. But still I trust them most.
Uniregistery owned by godaddy is not to be trusted. I sold a name and denied the transfer since the details were not worked out and they transferred the name anyway without me supping the transfer code. What good is a transfer code if the register can input them without you and transfer a name? I need to move to a new registry, any suggestions?
If you don’t decline within 5 days, after you have given auth code, it is on you, the onus
I never gave them the transfer code
Every company has always sold us out, hard to trust anyone
