: Several domains: centralize them in a single registrar or using multiple registrars? I have several web projects that I'm starting to develop. They are 4 different domains, registered in 3 different

In addition to the other answers about convenience, you may also be able to save money by using a single registrar.

Registrars may have discounts for registering or renewing many domains at the same time. When you have 100 domains at the same registrar, you may be able to renew all of them at a discount compared to renewing each one individually.

GoDaddy approached me about signing up for their "Pro" service where you pay a yearly fee, but get discounts. It wasn't worth it for the smaller number of domains I have registered, but with hundreds it could make sense.

I am a hosting provider and domain reseller. I spend much of my time helping people who have lost track of where their domain is registered and have no idea of the difference between domain registration and site hosting.

As I say to them having everything in one place will almost certainly help you avoid tears and heartache - trust me on this.

Find a registrar that has a good control panel, is easy to contact and gives great service.

That is actually me, but I won't self-promote :o)

I worked for a company once who went down this road. It was manageable with a handful of domains, but at one point we held several hundred and it just got to be silly. Sure we had a spreadsheet to tell us what was where, but when it came to ongoing management like renewals (and remembering to charge end-clients for them) it led to more frustration than it was worth.

Ultimately we decided to find one registrar who gave a good balance of price & ease of management. This also meant that whenever we needed to transfer a domain in/out for a client we had the process down pat without having to think about which registrar requires what information &c.

There were a few cases where a separate registrar was required for specific TLDs (like Switzerland & Hong Kong) but at least that was easier to remember than randomly spreading them apart.
