Ask HN: What is the best method for handling a large number of domains?

2 points by landstrom 11 years ago | 2 comments

Working in an agency type environment where grabbing domains for clients tends to happen quite frequently. We've been holding our domains with one registrar for the sake of simplicity and I'm starting see this more as a single point of failure rather then something convenient. I'm curious if there is a consensus regarding holding a large number of domains - is it better to split them up amongst many accounts? or is having the single account fine as long as security is maintained properly? Thanks

Having all domains with a single trusted provider is the best way to do this. In my opinion that leaves only two parties, Gandi and Moniker.

Moniker has been bought and sold a couple of times now so I'm not too confident about their status, but when Monte was still running it they were top notch. I hear nothing but good about Gandi.
