We do all our com/net.org >> registrations through them. STAY AWAY FROM JOKER!!! WOW, sorry, just saw this thread. I had all of my domains registered through Joker for years. Then one day, my ISP went belly-up. Of course, good ole Joker was hosting the domain with the Name Server Record, and wouldn't let me change it. After WEEKS of calling, emailing, etc., I finally HIRED a German fellow to physically go to the office and flail his fists (Dusseldorf in Germany, I think?), finally got the records changed, and was able to get control of the domains to forward to new addresses. (Good ole QDNS team was extremely helpful, incidentally). In the weeks that all of the domains were pointing nowhere I lost half of my clients and it nearly put me out of business. To THIS DAY, years afterward, the process of getting domains back from them is so convoluted and difficult and takes so long (and the people there speak German and totally avoid you when you need them) that I still have domains that are stuck with them. Every time I hear the name Joker I want to cry. Please, do me, if not yourself, the favor and go with a register who will help you when the cards aren't going your way. I beg you, leave Joker while you can. Sean
