<div dir="ltr">There is less competition and less money in the .il market (in total, not per domain) therefore prices are higher and service quality is lower. I think there are hundreds of .com etc. registrars and only about 10 .il registrars. If you need the .il I'm currently using <a href="http://www.box.co.il">www.box.co.il</a>, if not I would recommend an international domain name. There are lots of extensions but the most popular are com/net/org. I would recommend having at least one of .com/.org version of your domain name, depending if you are for profit or non-profit.<div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="direction:rtl"><div style="direction:rtl">אורי</div><div style="direction:rtl"><a href="mailto:uri@speedy.net" target="_blank">uri@speedy.net</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 11, 2019 at 10:04 AM vordoo <<a href="mailto:vordoo@yahoo.com">vordoo@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>I do not really care for Hebrew or NIS payments, but do for the
service & bottom line. As long as the service is good (English
and/or Hebrew, via email, web-ticket, phone or fax :-) I could
care less. Most impotent is avoiding those interfaces that flash
& up-sell more then serve the point you originally came to use
them.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sadly, it looks like with an IL-registrar you only get to pay
more & get the same or less service wise. Really hope someone
can debunk me on that.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Last time I had to renew my only (.org) domain
I decided to transfer it to <a href="http://box.co.il" target="_blank">box.co.il</a>,
which is also a .il registrar (which I why I knew them). It
was a bit more expensive than the cheapest options abroad,
but the ability to pay in NIS with an Israeli (-only) credit
card, and be able to talk with someone over a phone, in
Hebrew, made it, for me. The transfer and renew was just
fine (although did take some time and work, also because I
had to ask the previous registrar to allow transfer but also
because they had some mistakes etc.). Didn't hear from them
since then, and do not expect to hear - the yearly "update
your details at icann" emails include links to "<a href="http://name-services.com" target="_blank">name-services.com</a>", and the
last one was also sent From: there. They are a sub-registrar
of <a href="http://enom.com" target="_blank">enom.com</a>, which IIUC is a
rather large registrar that only has sub- ones, does not
work with end customers directly.</div>
