Domain registration

I'm just about to register a domain however I though I'd pause and ask you guys if you have any opinions on which domain registrar to use.


Namecheap.com! Excellent domain management panel and great customer service. I've always received email replies within a few hours.

Btw, you can use the coupon code "LABORDAY" at Namecheap to receive a $1 discount ( ref: http://www.hostingdiary.com/2006/08/namecheap_disco.html ).


I highly recommend DynDNS for DNS registration and hosting. Their amazing customer service, excellent web interface, and expertise are well worth the higher price.


i use namecheap.com - 8.88 per and they do whois protection for free and i have not had a problem yet.

godaddy is alright if you can sift through the ads on every single page, they are a little cheaper. i don't use them and probably never will.


www.namecheap.com

$8.88 a year, includes free whoisguard which anonymizes your whois info.

It's worth paying the $.89 over Godaddy because there is no spam or upselling when you buy the domain. They just sell it to you.


thats funny. our posts are just about the same at the same time.


name.com - $5.99 + $0.50 whois protect / year


cheers guys
