Many domain companies have multiple accreditations and I’ve tried to capture the largest ones. See the notes below.
* Includes GoDaddy and Wild West Domains
** Includes Tucows and Enom
+ Includes PDR, Domain.com, FastDomain and Bigrock. There are other Endurance registrars, but these are the biggest.
++ Includes Network Solutions and Register.com
I find it interesting that Tucows gets about 25% of what Godaddy gets but you never ever hear or see Tucows in advertising. Godaddy is all over and in your face and you would think they would dominate much more than they do.
@Todd: That would be because the work as a wholesale registrar and their resellers and registrars are doing the promotion. Same with their eNom brand.
Be careful entrepreneurs. I am surprised this company is still operating. Listen up friends, I had a very bad experience with 1&1 Internet. Concerning the business dealings of One and One Internet: In my opinion, I would advise every business person to avoid 1 and 1 Internet.
In my opinion, 1&1 Internet is the worst of the worst. They would not let me cancel domains I no longer wanted. The company cost me a good business, I should have checked them out with the BBB, too late I found out they had an F rating, in my opinion, the Mafia is more trustworthy.
