I think back then they were the only registrar. I never even thought of requiring mobile access to a domain registrar, but I guess that's a valid criterion these days. I just went to networksolutions.com on my G1 and it was not mobile-friendly. I Googled "networksolutions mobile version" and found networksolutions.mobi but it's not a full-service site; it only lets you search for domains and get WHOIS info. Oh well, I tried to help.

I'm not going to move my domains to a registrar that is just a little better. They need to be awesome. Apparently, the person running the @namecheap account on Twitter is going to talk to the CTO about mobile accessibility. Chuck, I looked into it and they don’t have mobile accessibility.

I used to do a lot of domaining and more risque stuff and I had issues with content and names through other registrars with them either suspending my account or even at some (GD included) took away the domains without any reason or breach of terms (at the time they didn't have anything in their terms that I broke). I was recommended to namecheap a long time ago by some bigtime IT guys at the Planet and since I've moved everything over to a few accounts I've never looked back... NameCheap rocks and their admin panel is very simple and straight forward and unlike GD you don't need to wait for cron to run every 15 minutes, the DNS changes are instant. I've had one issue around this last summer (I have my registrar do all my dns, I don't do it hosting side so if hosting goes down I still have MX fwd'd to gmail) and the had an email to me in 2 minutes with backup dns serves to use... my stuff was up in 2.5 minutes... Anyways... try them out or at least have a look. I know I tweeted it but wanted it here for the masses to see ;)
