I would also suggest NameCheap. The domains are registered with ENOM, and the managment is very easy in their panel. They provide many offers, like free ssl and whois protection. Try in google for some coupons.

I like the ease provided by Dynadot.com and the safety provided by Moniker.com

I have been with onlinenic.com since 2001 however with this lawsuit going on I'm starting to wonder.. I have moved a few of my domains over to moniker.com and everything seems to be going smooth there.

Hello!
May I ask you what do you consider cheap. Which domain name extension you are interested in?

It seems the type of post is done several times daily, perhaps people have difficulty reading existing posts. I would use a service like webhosting.info, you can see who has marketshare, who have more transfers in Vs. out. This is a good bellwhether of a registrars performance and there is always trusty google too.

Bigger market share doesn't always warrant good quality and excellent customer service. GoDaddy has the largest market share but it's far from the best domain registrar: blatant site design with blinking advertisement everywhere and trying to promote their stuff in every step of doing something. There's also some horror stories (http://nodaddy.com) about godaddy.

Not to be rude, but it is basically pointless to ask such a question. It's like asking who is the most beautiful girl on earth.

IMO, GoDaddy and or NameCheap would be fine for your needs. Maybe even name.com.

I wouldnt recommend GoDaddy, even though they have good prices, I just never had a good experience with them. I forgot to renew one of my domains, I was about a day late, ( I dont like auto renewal.) So I went to renew it a day late and they wanted to charge me about 500$ for a silly domain.

I recommend namecheap, personally.

How do you navigate their website? It brings my computer to a crawl. Their ordering process is disgusting. Their control software for domain management is bloated/slow. No real problems with their services, that is, if they would take a step back and redesign their front end.

I always roll with eNom/NameCheap for domains

That's BS. One day later than expiry is still renewal fee for most tlds.

You get what you pay for, and with some registrars that really rings true.

Go with Moniker for their security and ask for better pricing, they'll give it to you.

I have 5000+ Domains. 3500+ are at GoDaddy.com. 400+ at Name.com 400+ at eNom.com. 200+ at fabulous.com (mostly .nets) and a smattering of other registrars. My preference is GoDaddy because of the prices. All those complaints about their control panel/checkout are only half valid. There's nothing wrong with their control panel but the checkout you need to know how to get past all those offers. If I didn't like the bulk domain management so much at GoDaddy, I'd probably use Name.com instead, but their bulk domain management is about 10% of what I use at GoDaddy. IMHO, GoDaddy has the best bulk domain management on the planet. And good prices. I have tried more than 60 Registrars and Resellers.

I've been happy using Namecheap. They have free DNS, free whois protection and registration is instant.
