“These people have the worst customer service, make everything complicated to solve any situation, refuse to give me my money back”

NameSilo raised prices three years in a row and .com renewal went from $5.99 in 2017 to $17.29, so they are leaving after 7 years.

“Now they've raised prices already third year in a row and by A LOT! Their .com is now an insane $17.29?!”

NameSilo interface is poor and DNS changes wait 15 minutes before going live.

“NameSilo is awful. Their interface is cancer. If you use their DNS, they impose a 15 minute wait period before your changes go live.”

NameSilo just works, been there for years with great pricing.

“I think they don't get much attention because they "just work". Been with them for years. Hardly give them any thought. Great pricing and they haven't sold out to private equity”

NameSilo requires leaving funds on deposit for best pricing, otherwise marks costs up about 50%.

“Namesilo has this crappy-ass antifeature that requires you to leave funds on deposit with them to access their best pricing, otherwise they mark the cost up about 50%. It's bullshit;”
