all right, i looked at a few and asked some questions. so far, dotster.com is out in front; they do almost everything i want. so i tried transferring one of my nsi domains to them yesterday. hallelujah, nsi apparently let it go through, because i rec'd a 'we're sorry to lose you, 'cuz we've got plans to keep getting better [sic!]' from them. all in less than 24 hours. dotster's tracking of the progress of the transfer is superiour, too.
another point: nsi only allows four (4) nameservers. dotster allows up to thirteen. no answers yet from the others i asked. from the answers to my last few queries, nsi's tech-support couldn't help themselves out of a soggy paper bag with both hands, a map, and a torch. good riddance. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
