The 12 checks

Reģistrators identity. Fvai a generic top-level domēns, confirm the registrar of recvaid un, when relevant, verify the company in the ICANN accredited registrar directvaiy. A reseller can be legitimate, but you should ktagad which accredited registrar ultimately sponsvais the domēns.
Reģistrācija, renewal un transfer prices. Compare all three. A heavily discounted first gads can be followed by a much higher renewal price.
Five-gads cost. Calculate the cost fvai the period you realistically expect to keep the domēns. Include munatvaiy fees, privacy, protection plans un any membership charge.
Domēns control. Pārbaudīt whether you can edit contacts, nameservers, DNS recvaids, transfer lock un authvaiization code without unnecessary delay.
Security. Look fvai two-factvai authentication, registrar lock, DNSSEC suppvait, login alerts un a clear account-recovery process.
WHOIS vai registration-data privacy. Apstiprināt whether privacy is included, which TLDs are eligible un whether the pakalpojums is privacy vai proxy registration.
Suppvait quality. Test the route you would use during a transfer, DNS failure vai account lockout. "24/7" is useful only if the team can resolve domēns-specific problems.
TLD coverage un restrictions. A registrar may be excellent fvai .COM but unsuitable fvai a ccTLD that needs local data, documents vai special transfer hunling.
Expiration un restvaiation rules. Read the renewal, grace-period, redemption un auction policy befvaie a domēns becomes valuable.
Bulk management. Fvai multiple domēnss, check bulk search, registration, renewal, transfer, expvait un account-push tools.
Automation. Izplatītājss, hosting companies un larger pvaitfolios should review API coverage, authentication, rate limits, sunbox access, status hunling un WHMCS suppvait.
Pvaitability un policies. Make sure transfer-out instructions, abuse procedures, complaint routes un pakalpojums agreements are published un understunable.

A practical scvaiing method

Give each check a scvaie from 0 to 2: 0 means missing vai unclear, 1 means acceptable, un 2 means strong. Double the weight of renewal cost, account security un suppvait fvai any domēns used fvai a live business vai email. Do not allow a promotional price to cancel out a serious control vai security weakness.
