Moniker.com Drops To Number 9 On the Top 10 Registrar List

by

Six weeks ago we noted that Moniker.com was on Pace to drop from the worlds 8th largest registrar to the 9th.

It took two weeks longer than we estimated but now according to WebHosting.info which tracks domain registrars, Moniker.com has in fact now slipped to number 9.

Just a few months ago Moniker.com was the 7th largest registrar.

Replacing Moniker in the 8th spot, is ResellerClub.com

Moniker still have a big lead over the 10th largest  registrar,  Register.com which is still 370,000 domains away from Moniker.

    If you look at the raw numbers, not just the pie chart you showed, you will see that Moniker has lost hundreds of thousands of registrations in the last few months.

    So many companies these days think Customer Service doesn’t matter.

    Makes you wonder if Oversee may be looking to get rid of Moniker.

    I can understand this. I have three domains with Moniker… three. I have a few hundred with Godaddy and probably fifty with name.com. Moniker is absolutely terrible! They are difficult to work with, the control panel is not intuitive at all and they never call you back. Also, I updated the name servers of a domain I have with them a few weeks ago and it is still loading half the time with monikers ads. At this point if Moniker can’t get their act together they could disappear and leave the domain space better for it.

    I hope they can pull it together because competition is good for all of us, but I have little confidence.
