Upgrades include easier domain changes and bulk updates.
One complaint I hear about domain registrar Sav is that its domain dashboard is rather rudimentary.
Last week, the company addressed this by launching an entirely new domain admin along with a new website.
The admin makes it easy to add/remove columns in the domain dashboard, offering 31 different columns, including whether the domain is opted into Afternic and Sedo fast transfer.
It also provides one-click functions, such as changing auto renew status. There are improved bulk actions, and domains can be put into folders to apply default configurations to each folder.
Admin functions are now mobile-friendly, too.
Sav now supports 26 different payment options and also gives a 3% discount on orders paid with an account balance or direct bank transfer. It also supports 10 currencies and five languages.
The redesign does not yet apply to the marketplace and backorder management systems. Sav tells me those should be improved next month.
direct bank transfer never worked. Has it changed?
I’m moving everything from SAV, support is a disaster and they really don’t care about customers
Hello. We are not aware of any issues and would love to take a look further. Can you share the issues you are seeing with our support team and ask them them to share the ticket with Nick, so that we can take a further look? Feel free to give them the link to this post. – Sav
I don’t like Sav. My first draft said “hate,” but I’ll soften that a bit for now. Used to have a lot of domains there. Transferred out and let expire all. Will only use them in a pinch if there’s a really good reason, but for as little as possible. Feel like it had such good potential, wasted for me.
Appeared to be playing major games with me over a support issue before. Wasted a lot of my time. I mean come on folks – how stupid do you think people are. In my case, my highest IQ was well above a lot of the ones you see whenever there’s a little post going around X of people with high IQ’s, plus I was even once a fed. But nope, they’ll still act like you’re an idiot and the world isn’t watching or caring.
The last straw was when they apparently stole a backorder from me. Had a simple backorder – something pretty much no other human would have credibly backordered at all. Got caught by Sav – okay, looking forward to managing it in my account. But nope – some mysterious person ALLEGEDLY hand-regged the domain AT SAV on the drop against my SAV BACKORDER.
Then the domain was immediately put up for sale for low $x,xxx, perhaps thinking I’d be willing to spring for that. The whole reason I did a cheap backorder at Sav to begin with was that I knew from all my years in this game that virtually nobody would want this domain to begin with, and I wasn’t willing to pay anything beyond reg fee or a cheap backorder fee myself. But SUPPOSEDLY someone else was so interested they not only ALLEGEDLY sniped the drop, but even beat and nullified my backorder – at Sav itself!
I suspect one of the things that may have happened is that people running Sav had already seen some of my prior domains and assumed/guessed I was some kind of “conservative/Republican/right wing” etc., so the typical dumbass bias and hate kicked in. I know (explicitly) they were very familiar with my account, which at one point had a lot. I mean – it is Chicago after all, so frankly it would be surprising if they weren’t of that typical so-called “left” persuasion, although now the so-called “left” is anything but left and a trillion miles from what anything “liberal” ever meant at all. Just a guess. Because it was all just so blatant and extreme – even worse than the infamous days at RegisterFly, and I had plenty of firsthand experience at infamous and notorious RegisterFly.
I’m independent/nonpartisan, by the way, not “right” or (pseudo) “left.”
Does Sav have new ownership and management now (this was a while ago)? That might be of interest, unless they have such biases like some do.
That’s a rather narcissistic take on what likely happened.
You’re not being honest on multiple levels, Andrew. That includes deceiving your own heart. Read Jeremiah 17:9 for an accurate description of the human condition when it comes to matters like that.
It’s not like your own political disposition has not been clear to anyone who’s been around these blogs for years now. Or that of some of the other most famous people in domaining.
If I showed a copy of the support issue I alluded to, anyone and everyone would see immediately that something was extremely “not right in Denmark,” and something kind of crazy, not believable, and clearly just bad was afoot.
As for my almost certainly stolen backorder – if people knew what the domain was they would know that no domainer on earth would ever have been interested in the domain, not even to hand reg if it were available. And in fact, after putting it up for sale as it was, it was allowed to expire and drop again and has remained unregistered all this time because I also lost interest. I could get it right now if I wanted. But somehow, magically, someone was not only interested enough to catch it on the drop, but do so at Sav itself. Oh no – it’s not that some Sav insider knew there was a backorder there for someone who might be willing to pay $x,xxx – it was just some magical coincidence that the hand regger not only registered it at Sav, but even defeated Sav’s own backorder to do so. Not GoDaddy. Not Register.com. Not eNom or Tucows. But Sav itself. Well lions and tigers and bears… As in, as non-credible as it gets, even to a 12 year old. In my generation, more like even to any 6 year old an up.
So no, there is no “narcissistic take.” I’ve been dealing with “human nature” all my life, probably more so than most, and it’s all just “101” as to what not only “likely” happened but also what simply did happen in most cases. Just like when I was blocked by a discount reseller from completing payment for a domain in 2001 that wound up with one of the most famous big markets then three days later, while the domain did not exist and could not even be registered during those three days; just like how a very famous name not that long ago falsely charged my payment source $x,xxx’s when they knew they shouldn’t and had no basis to, requiring fixing that; just like everything that occurred at RegisterFly; just like how a formerly more well known registrar apparently tried to steal one of the biggest prize domains from one of the big releases of the past 25 years, possibly even working with a famous domain market for that as well; and just like how another obscure registrar in Canada had to have a registry itself intervene when they were “behaving badly.”
I actually regret even commenting at all here, but I’ve reached that point in life where you don’t care anymore and would rather just do it. The reality is that there been too much “human nature” going on among some players in the industry at times. So sure, strictly speaking it’s not logically impossible that there was nothing “rotten in Denmark” going on with Sav for every experience, but I do doubt it. As one who’s been around the block more than most.
Hey John – We would love to setup a call with you to try to clear up any confusion and, take a look at the exact reason that the backorder was not processed. Usually its from the backorder request getting placed too late or us not being able to process your payment method for previous backorder requests. Either way, we are here to help. Please reach out to our support, ask them to transfer the ticket to Nick, and mention the link to this page. We look forward clearing everything up together.
Sav has fast support and very good prices, though some technical errors too. They recently started requiring a ‘verification’, even for long-term customers, if you want to place an order above $1000, which may happen often (renewals etc.). I don’t know a single person liking sending their ID scans over the internet and I don’t know any other registrar requiring it either.
We appreciate the feedback.
