The title says it all really. I'm basically trying to find the best place aswell, so if you have any pros or cons, I be grateful for them aswell. ;)

I probably use www.stargateinc.com the most.
Nice, easy, full-featured control panel.

Reliable, $8.95 per domain registration(.net, .com, .org).

Do yourself a favor and get an opensrs account. It is well worth the price.

simple

openSRS is a domain registrar.

Opensrs rates are $10 per domain, and you have to fund your account with a minimum of $250, which can be applied to your domain registrations. It is well worth it in my opinion for hosting companies at least. The openSRS system is awesome.

gkg.net I'm waiting to get a direct opensrs account. Got some other financial stuff to do before I invest in one.

I use both Registerfly (about 40 domains) , Directi (60) , Dotregistrar (90) and Godaddy (35).

I like Godaddy most, especially their controlpanel. Directi has great prices but their current cp is not so nice.
I hate Dotregistrars controlpanel, but their prices are nice.
Registerfly has a nice controlpanel, but their prices are a little bit high for me.

I'm very happy with 000domains and in the process of transfering all my domains to them from dotster and register.com

used:

Dotster
RegisterFly
StargateInc
000Domains
(in that order)

everyone was fine except RegisterFly, they were really annoying especially with the slow sales responses and even had trouble transferring domains from them to stargate b/c stargate kept telling me that the 'current registrar' never responded to the transfer request or something. Even after I successfully transferred my domain, they kept sending me mail promoting their services, I emailed them multiple times and even did the 'unsubscribe' thing but they kept on sending me the SPAM. At last, I just blocked all emails from their SPAM department ;)

I'm transferring all my domains to 000domains from Stargate as all my domains with stargate get close to being expired since they recently upped their prices - might as go with 000domains.

I did transfer to 000domains just today, I didn't receive their 'authorization for transfer' email so emailed 000domain's support, they got back to me within 3 minutes of the email and told me that stargate's whois wasn't working so their system didn't know who the administrator of my domain was... so the guy is sending me a manual authorization email monday.

000domain seems to be a winner in terms of support and speed...

I use GoDaddy, but one thing I don't like is they won't let you register or transfer two-character domain names.

hi,

Be carefull with godaddy. yeaterday i register 5 .info+ 1 .com, +1 .net domain. They charged my CC for a whole sum. .com and .net work today, but .info not. They are available to register on any registrar :( Damn. I lost my client :(. After call they charged back my CC (still not shown on bank(after 12hours)). Mostly nice thing: they say, what we entered not all information :)
(Not Possible on their ordering forms), at the same time to the same customer we registered all thease domains, all was submited once, not per domain, all confirmations was received by email.

Any minds ?
