Favorite Domain Registrar?

Most of my domain are registered in name.com

It's a habit for me too, but I checked some other registrars and I can't say I liked them much better.

Still, next time I am buying a domain I may go with something else, and I am hoping that this thread will be useful for that.

That's a lie. You can go wrong with them very much...

Try namecheap.com

This forum (and other internet marketing forums) are full of threads started off and contributed to by people who have gone terribly wrong with them, and explained why at some length and in some detail, over situations and circumstances with which other registrars typically don't cause their clients problems and difficulties, Jonathan.

I recognize and accept that your experience of them may have been good (as indeed my own was, when I first started off), but unfortunately you're saying much more than just that, and to advise people "can't go wrong with them", with such a panoply of readily available evidence to the contrary, is really deeply inaccurate. :p

I've been entirely happy since moving from Go Daddy (and a couple of other registrars) to Namecheap.

And possibly 1-and-1, too (also well worth avoiding, in my opinion)? But "anything except Go Daddy" really does seem to be the opinion of a strikingly high proportion of well-established, successful marketers. I think it's perhaps partly because the longer people have "been in the industry", the more likely they are either to have had a "Go Daddy accident" themselves or at least to have been exposed to many of the horror stories.

The reality is that for most people, most of the time, it doesn't matter very much where you register your domain-names, as long as you (a) avoid a couple of dreadful registrars, and (b) never register a domain where you host the site attached to it.

I use Name Cheap, No upsale Bull Sh** like GoDaddy. Had godaddy awhile back did not like them.

So are hundreds (thousands?) of us, here ... but that's mostly as a host, rather than as a registrar. Hosting is their forte, after all. I'm not for a moment suggesting they're a bad registrar. Using them (so happily) as a host, I'm obviously not going to use them as a registrar as well: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7437169

Been using Godaddy for years and never had any issues!

Tried NameCheap.com and it was good too, but Godaddy seem to be where it is at.

I also tried 1and1.com and that was horrible, when I tried to point my HostGator nameservers to my domain that was registered on 1and1 it kept giving me an error, so I would stay away from 1and1.

1and1 support wasn't good either when it came down to web hosting, it seems like they really didn't know what they was doing.

My vote is with Godaddy!

BUT I WOULD NEVER HOST ANY WEBSITE WITH GODADDY LOL! JUST PURCHASE DOMAINS FROM THEM.

Namecheap for sure. The free privacy add-on is nice. Easy domain management too, all of them in a list, simple to print out. Their live chat has always been available when I had a question and been very helpful.

Internetbs.net is cheaper because their business is registered in a tax haven.

If you know anything about their business practices being shady, please tell us what did they do. What relationship did they have with those online pharmacies? I would really like to know.
