I'm now in the market for a premium registrar where they actually contact me and get my side of the story before messing with my business. I've contacted MarkMonitor, Com Laude, and Safenames so far, waiting for a response.

I'm curious what the ballpark cost of this kind of services would be? Also, is there another option that HN recommends?
