From what I've read and seen 1&1 has HORRIBLE reviews with many negatives towards them. If anything use GoDaddy out of the ones you have chosen, while I personally think the best would to use NameCheap (great customer service and support with everything).

Typically you can register your domain at any ICANN accredited Registrar which will provide you good and consistent pricing for registrations as well as renewals.

godaddy is expensive and 1&1 is slow to make DNS changes. I hated when I used them for a year.

If you are not looking for cheap domain then go for namecheap or resellerclub.

I am a student. I can't afford to buy expensive domain name. Please help me once again. How much it costs- domain hosting + domain registering?
Thank You So Much. Have a nice day.0

It depends from various elements: what kind of site you plan to make and the content you'll have on it, how much space and bandwidth you need, what is your visitor target, etc.
If you really want numbers, I think a small hosting package from a reliable provider for a very basic and small site starts from around $25-35/yr, and you can get a domain (using discount coupons) from a good registrar for around $9-10/yr.My "ranking" is kidding.

First of all you need to choose witch domain zone you need (.com, .net, or maybe .club etc.), because the price for each is different. Also you need to plan your future project - if you want it to be big and profitable, don't try to economize your costs on domain. Because like it said: "Cheapest is the dearest". Most your costs will be on hosting or server, advertising and you'll forget about the domain price.

Hi a1sifat
For domain registration only, and of the two you listed, GoDaddy would be the best choice in our opinion based on buying hundreds of domains over the years. However, we believe Namecheap i a good option.
As you are looking for hosting services also, other hosting companies will come into the picture also.
Some companies do offer free domain registration with their shared hosting plans. Of course, choosing a Web Hosting service depends on the kind of website you want to host, but I realize you are not asking about Web Hosting services.

No, it wouldn't; GoDaddy is not a good registrar, never has been (it was decent at best until a couple of years ago, but not anymore), and 1&1 is even worse. None of OP's options is good.
On the contrary, Namecheap is a great registrar and they're having a great promotion ($8.88/yr) on .COM domains.My "ranking" is kidding.

I've had a bad experience with 1&1 so I wouldn't recommend them for domain registration. GD is pretty good. Tierra.net is also a decent registrar.

2nding statements already made in this thread.
Avoid 1&1 & Godaddy, but adding NetworkSolutions as well. Not only are prices high their DNS propagation is super slow and I hate how they handle custom DNS in general.

Four choices with different reasons depending on your needs
Gandi.net if you want free basic email and excellent authoritative DNS management with your name (form-based or full zone-file edit based for maximum flexibility), permantly free whois privacy for contact info (not for contact/registrant name, but this actually further protects your domain ownership rights). At a slightly higher price but if you use and value the use of at least two of those elsewhere-addons, they're as cheap or cheaper. Highly ethical, with an explicit "you own your domain name" policy.
First-year-only perks: You can get a GANDI SSL/TLS certificate (they are the issuer, but it's validated through Comodo) for free. You do not have to activate it at time of registration, you can do it any time during the registration year for one year validity of the cert from that point.
What else they sell (Upsell risk/benefit): SSL/TLS certs, NON-traditional hosting (Simplified VPS in Platform as a Service "Simple Hosting"), VPS hosting. Nothing that looks like "shared hosting", nothing that looks like "reseller hosting", nothing that comes with a "hosting panel or cPanel". Zero "upsell" during purchase.
Internet.BS for slightly better pricing than Gandi, good authoritative DNS management (form-based only, no zone file edit option like Gandi has), excellent web and email redirection, permanently free partial (like Gandi) or full whois privacy. Written "you own your domain" policy but not quite as straightforward about it as Gandi, and has some "we might redirect it to our ads" language for what they might do during the "grace period" if you miss renewal.
First-year-only perks: None
What else they sell (Upsell risk/benefit): Nothing. Upsells thus impossible, for good or bad depending on your perspective.
Uniregistry.com for excellent pricing, excellent domain portfolio tools, very good authoritative DNS management (form-based only, no zone-file edit), very good web redirection. No email redirection. Excellent choice for "domainers" since it was founded by a noted "domainer" and its tools for managing a portfolio of names including watching those at other registrars and pre-scheduling transfers is unparalleled. Permanently free whois privacy, of the "full" type only, so you cannot protect your domain ownership by keeping your Registrant name visible while protecting your content information. Does not have an explicit "you own your domain" language in their agreement but does not have an explicit "you have no property rights" language that some registrars have. And the term "owner" shows up in some places in their legal agreement. So it's reasonable about property rights. Does have some language about how upon expiration, during the renewal grace period, they might redirect to ads or do other things in their favor, but has reasonable domain recovery options.
First-year-only perks: None.
What else they sell (Upsell risk/benefit): Nothing. Related to Domaining.com if you are reselling or auctioning names, but not done under their Uniregistry branding.
Namecheap Strictly for first-year or coupon-based price and features, but only if you don't care about having any property rights to your domain during your term of registration, because they have explicit language in their agreement saying "no property rights". Also if you don't care that they might be acting only as the reseller of another unrelated company, Demand Media-spinoff company Rightside's Enom Registrar. Which can lead to support "fingerpointing" between who you think is the registrar, Namecheap, and who really is the registrar, Enom. On some of the newer TLDs Namecheap has finally started acting as the real registrar, for which I commend them. Namecheap does have excellent DNS management, form-based only but probably the best and most flexible one I've used, along with excellent web and email redirection options free with registration. (Actually free with anything registered anywhere, because you can use it as FreeDNS with domains registered elsewhere.) Namecheap has excellent public positions about internet freedom, privacy, and other "rights" issues overall, but not necessarily when it comes to your actual "ownership rights" of your name because their position is it's impossible to "own" a domain name. (Look it up.) By far the favorite of posters on WHT who ignore all that.
First-year-only perks: $1.99 Comodo Positive SSL certificate per domain. You have to buy that at the time of the domain purchase or inbound transfer, though you do not have to activate it right away, and in fact can activate it for a different domain. Free Whois privacy the first year, "full" type only, so you cannot protect your "ownership" by having your actual Registrant name shown with protected contact info. About $3 for future years, though coupons exist and they sometimes offer deals.
What else they sell (Upsell risk/benefit): Darn near everything, with a slightly-obnoxious level of "upsell" compared to the three registrars above, but far less than the obnoxious GoDaddy or 1&1. Shared hosting, reseller hosting, semi-dedicated high-resources shared "business hosting", VPS hosting, SSL/TLS certs, "Private Email" using Open-Xchange, longer terms on their Whoisguard paid whois privacy, and now a bunch of "Apps" which are paid online services of various types.
I consider all the above to be good registrars with which to register a name. Yes, even Namecheap, though I bluntly mention what I don't like about them, and they are at the absolute bottom of my list, and I've recently moved entirely out of them (had about 10-15% of my domain portfolio there). I use them now only for some SSL/TLS certs and one small shared hosting plan. But fundamentally Namecheap does a good job with registration, regardless of what I don't like about the company. Anybody I haven't mentioned, out of the reasonably well-known brands, I have no experience with nor any particular need to try. I have heard good things from many people here and elsewhere about Dynadot, Hover (Tucows' retail registrar), and EuroDNS. Stay away from Name.com (a retail brand of Demand/Rightside's Enom), Network Solutions, and any others that seem to really hype.
And of course, "Never register from your webhost, never host at your registrar!" Consider that a general rule. Rules are sometimes made to be broken, but only by people who both know what they are doing and why they are choosing to do it. Otherwise, even if your registrar is also good at hosting (I'd put Namecheap and in their own non-standard way, Gandi, in the "good at hosting" category), or your primarily-a-host company is good with registrations, there are far too many risks by having things at the same place. That doesn't mean that a dual host-registrar (or registrar-host, depending on their company history and business priority) is bad at either thing, it just means you don't want "all your eggs in one basket".
The absolute worst thing you can do is sign up for a hosting plan and get your "free name" as part of it. No matter how good the host.4

Hmmm... what i understood from here is Godaddy and 1&1 Both are equally bad and nobody should register his/her domain name there. I also understood that Namecheap is the best site to register domain name. But Namecheap is a bit expensive. Isn't it?

It depends from what cheap is for you; personally $10-11/yr for a .COM domain (and right now they're discounting it at $8.88/yr) is not that much. Buying a domain from a hosting provider is even more expensive, as they usually start from at least $12-13/yr.
You could always go for one of GoDaddy or 1&1 99c/yr promotions but, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for - meaning don't expect reliability.My "ranking" is kidding.
