From the article: Where to Register a Domain

Choosing a domain registrar is something many people do without thinking about it. Or their only thought is towards price. What domain name registrar do you use for your website domains and why? Do you focus only on price or are other things like features or support important as well? How many domains have you registered with your favorite? Who Do You Register With

i use wcwe.com

May not be the cheapest out there either but 24/7 support, and always great deals like private registration for $1.95/yr currently and they offer lots of freebies with domains

Economical Domains for me!

I also use economicaldomains.com for their great prices and 24/7 support. I am tired of getting so much spam to my email so I also take advantage of their free privacy protection as well

Netfirms

Netfirms is generally a good company, but they do something that is irritating. When Netfirms emails a receipt to a customer, they include attachments that are unnecessary and unwanted (for example, an image file of the Netfirms logo). That's a very annoying practice.

ResellerClub.com for sure

Great pricing, super service and no overselling. Been there for 5 years now and having an account manager that cares makes a world of a difference.

pairNIC.com

pairNIC.com is a great place for clean, simple, straightforward domain name registration without all the upselling baloney. They're not the cheapest, but they're a lot cheaper than Network Solutions. Whois privacy is available for free on most domains.

www.WebPricedRight.com

I would recommend www.WebPricedRight.com They have 24/7 free support and some of the best prices I’ve found. They also have great hosting deals and I’ve never had an issue with down time. I have used over half a dozen companies over the last 9 years. I am a Graphic Designer and I service over 20 clients. Most of the service providers that I used promised the world but just raised their prices the next year. For the last 3 years I have been working with Web Priced Right. I wasn't sure at first because their prices were relatively low compared to other options out there. It was the best decision I've ever made! www.WebPricedRight.com

bluehost.com

bluehost.com is one of the lower cost hosting providers. Each additional "add-on" domain name costs me only $10 a year, and it appears to a "regular" top level domain. I've been using bluehost 3 years now with no problems at all.

Who is your domain registrar and why

GoDaddy. I've been with them since 2001. They have 24 hour live support or you can communicate via email. The price is right and I like that they are ICANN certified.
