The absolute best feature of Hover is that when you call, you immediately get connected with customer service. There is no talking to a machine that tries to understand speech, no pressing numbers to get connected to the correct department - instant human. Additionally, free domain privacy for any domains that support it, major benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For as smooth as the admin interface is, it could be a little better. They don't always support all the new TLDs that come out - but they do their best to add the new ones as quickly as they can. Sometimes they have to manually add a domain to your account because the system doesn't support the TLD. But that's very infrequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

About 2 years ago we moved our domain's, both my personal and business, over to Hover. Hover makes it super easy to purchase new domains and easily configure the most used DNS settings. Domain/WHOIS privacy is extremely easy to set up, as well as transfer locks and auto renewal. Hover makes it really easy to setup subdomains. Though I haven't used the features, the Connect feature, which lets you attach your domain to popular services seems nice. The email features can also be added for an extra fee. I totally recommend the Domain Valet service. We switched 7-10 domains over all at once through this service. The customer service rep, Anet, was SUPER helpful. Anet moved all our domains from the previous provider with ease. Anet even sent me a postcard after our move to wish me Happy Holidays! Talk about customer appreciation!

While Hover does support all of the most used DNS record types, they still do not support some of the less used ones. I would also like support for Dynamic DNS, (Changing the A record for a domain automatically) This has been talked about for a while on their message boards, but there has been no movement to implement this feature.

Very simple domain registrar and DNS host. Their prices are reasonable, and they don't try to throw hundreds of up-sells at you as other registrars often do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The prices tend to be just slightly on the higher side, though they are still within a reasonable range.

The DNS user interface could use some work. The last time I had to use it, there were a few quirks. I've since switched to CloudFlare as my DNS host (my domains are still registered and renewed with Hover) so the interface may have improved since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hover really nailed it on everything. Buying domains on the site is easy and no frills - the minimal upsells are unobtrusive and clearly labelled (you're unlikely to accidentally end up with something you don't want in your cart. Security is great; TFA and login auditing are features that make me feel much more comfortable. The interface is as intuitive as it gets. Clear labelling, smart design, and creative use of space lets the site feel open and uncluttered while putting all the necessary tools at your fingertips. The DNS editor is simple and lightweight - something that's getting harder and harder to find these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mailboxes could use a little bit of work to make editing and setting them up a bit clearer, but it's not that bad as is. The renewal alerts could stand to be a bit more frequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hover is a no-frills, inexpensive, but solid and secure platform for managing my website registration and personal email Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Webmail platform is a bit clunky, the integration with iOS isn't the strongest and there are additional costs to connect with Google Apps. Overall, I'm not terribly pleased with my Hover email but expect it to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hover domain registration and management is simple and that's why I use the service. I was using GoDaddy and was frustrated by how complicated it was to do simple tasks like update DNS, forwarding and changing nameservers. All the normal registering and DNS management on Hover are very simple and straight to the point without the constant upselling other services try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be nominally more expensive than other services to register new domain names. This only bothers me when I register for spontaneous domain that I'm not sure what I plan on doing with it and just want it on the cheap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very intuitive interface, fairly well priced with some good privacy features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No mobile access to the application or domain registration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a very good customer support. It's very easy and intuitive to use. Because it's fairly new in the market it doesn't show any ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a little bit on the expensive side but it does give the quality for the money. Plus hosting would have been another great commonly used feature which this one lacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of usage and quick domain service, well organized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Older software, sometimes freezes but overall good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple interface, no up selling. Easy DNS management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of catch all email accounts meant I had to use a third party email provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
