Kids these days! I worked tech-support in the Computer Center (92-94) and then my first post-college job (at EBT https://www.inc.com/profile/electronic-book-technologies-inc back when we had DTDs for our HTML) Gopher was *amazing*! Then Mosaic! We shat on AOL even then.....
My study abroad at Glasgow, I "downloaded" "apps" by emailing to a listserv to get the list of items available them then sending "RETRIEVE warlord.exe" as the subject line. Transfering to a PC formatted 3.5" floppy and then installing on my Mac SEII (with special software to read PC disks).

Rich, I think you get the Methuselah award. I actually went online in 1987 but only stayed a few months because using it was so horrible back then. Command line interface and numeric email addresses. I didn't go back on until 1994 and registered my first domain at the end of 1995.

There were plenty of domains, more then 50 -- most were just email, lots using UUCP

Dtop.com - my oldest: Created Date: 1992-12-31 -- which is when the domain registration started,
Before that as Mik said

I remember that. When Bill Clinton took office there were 50 websites. Now 1,862,225,000

Thanks you for those who replied. Very interesting, how times have changed from the pre-NetSol days, back when you emailed the Internic directly. Mail them a $75 check and find out in a week. Wild.

Hello all,

Montague WebWorks uses GoDaddy for its registrar, and we now hold 394 domain names there.

While for the most part I enjoy their Domain Manager, there is always room for improvements... as well as possible savings.

GoDaddy has a bulk-buying club, of sorts. You pay something like $125 a year to get reduced pricing, so most domains cost about $9.20 instead of $15. We charge our customers only $10/year to manage their domains for them, which saves us TONS of time tracking down and assisting them in managing their domains at whatever registrar they initially bought it if they forgot to renew or their card expired. I'm more than happy to make only 80c per year on these domains for this reason.

I don't relish the thought of transferring that many domain names to another registrar, but I'm curious who any of you use if you host websites and manage domains for your customers.

My questions are:

- Who do you use as a registrar, if not GoDaddy?
- Do they have a white-label service, and if so, what does it cost?

- How much do you pay per domain, on average?
- How good is their management platform? Can you make multiple-domain changes in a single action?
- Any other good tips.

Thanks,

Mik
