I'm looking to move my domains away from GoDaddy, but I'm having a tough time finding anyone with comparable features at a (even remotely) similar price.

I've looked at the usual suggestions (NameCheap, Gandi.net, etc.), but they all seem to lack many of the GoDaddy feature base.

I'm looking for:

  • DNSSEC
  • IPv6 Resolvers (dig pdns01.domaincontrol.com AAAA; etc. )
  • SSL-Logins by default
  • HTTP-only login cookies
  • No stupid password restrictions
  • Two-factor authentications
  • No DNS record limits
  • Rough DNS statistics (queries/day, etc.)
  • Audit trails

GoDaddy has all of these, except two-factor, for $3/month. See http://www.godaddy.com/domains/dns-hosting.aspx

I can't seem to find any other registrar that supports even a few of these.

Is there a registrar that offers comparable features? Or, barring that, a DNS hosting service that offers similar features? (AWS Route53 doesn't offer DNSSEC or IPv6)

+1 just for wanting to leave godaddy. I moved my domains to Namecheap yesterday. – John Conde♦ Dec 24 '11 at 20:16

Agreed. I'm moving mine away to hover.com. They're very helpful and responsive. Not sure though that they fit all of @semenko's criteria. – Keefer Jan 25 at 19:56

I like siteground.com

Security is awesome, and they are very competent.

Very easy:

GoDaddy is crap. I'm surprised you ended up using them. I don't know if MT has the EXACT same features you're looking for, quite frankly I doubt there will be any other host with identical features to godaddy but you can't lose by going to their site and checking things out.

There's a pretty detailed list of requirements up top. All you've done is throw out a host you like and not even attempted to address the real issue. – Su' Feb 1 at 18:09

Piping up to also say, yes, leave GoDaddy. Their customer service is terrible. With them, it does seem that what you pay for is what you get.

Have you looked at AN Hosting? I've used them for the past four years. They're reliable, fast, easy to work with, and have great customer service. They are always my first recommendation.

Your "what you get" comment is odd considering the point is that the asker can't find someone to match GoDaddy's features. Can ANHosting do that, or at least even get close? Provide documentation. – Su' Feb 1 at 18:07
It isn't odd: it's a clarification of the preceding sentence. – Christina Feb 2 at 15:17
