In your opinion, who do you think is the best domain registrar? I would start a poll on this, but there are WAY to many to choose from. Just some suggestions. Typically, I use 3 different ones for a different reasons.

eNom because my name is listed in the DNS
GoDaddy because they accept PayPal
RegisterFly.com because they're fast, cheap, and always have promos

Any insights here

I've been with DirectI for a while now, and I've been very pleased. They're always working to improve their services and their control panel, and I think that is very admirable. Regardless, the service has been top notch with the pricing that you would expect to see elsewhere. They also accept a wide range of payment options, which is nice for those who don't (or can't) use PayPal.

In the past, I've been with eNom. I wasn't very pleased with them or the way they handled some of the issues that I brought to their attention. I haven't been with them for a while, so things may have changed since.

I've found that eNom is the most reliable in terms of support, registering domains fast, etc.

I think it's fairly safe to say that all registrars register domain names quickly since it's (almost) always an automated process.

Namecheap is a good reliable registrar too.

I like godaddy becuase they're fast and cheap...But, their site is confusing, and they have WAY too much promotional garbage they want to sell you before u can get to register it.

Click "Quick Checkout". I always do, and the "promotional garbage" takes all of like 10 seconds to get through - and it's worth it

I would have to agree. I use GoDaddy and I love the service. I find their DNS propagation time is the quickest among top registrars, and that's why I keep using it, as well as their customer service has been amazing. GoDaddy might be confusing at times (too much value-added services they are trying to pitch during checkout), however, the account functions are worth it. I like namecheap because they also accept PayPal, and they are virtually ad-free. However, I find their account features a little confusing, and deals a bit worse (GoDaddy always have promo codes with better offers). Their DNS setup process is plain confusing.

Best,

GoDaddy has the best features and easy to use technologies.It has got good reporting systems too.Propogation time has one of the greatest features they have.Once i tried with directi.com too and they have great propogation time too but their control panel is confused one.

The other account i have is with Namecheap of course.Simple navigation,Fast service and technology backed by eNom.Paypal is the best add on to it.

I dont think you need any support for domain names! So, the cheapest one has to be the best option! Dont fall into the promotional offers, just consider howmuach its going to cost you next year.

I bought a few doains from yahoo for 3$!! But now it seems the offer is over! Godaddy is reasonable.

I love Godaddy. They are trusted, and easy to use and I just do the quick checkout to pass by all of their promotional stuff.

I love "Namecheap" it's been my domain registar for quite some time now. I love the tools it comes with, etc. Anyways, BESTVALUE coupon can give you a .com domain for 7.99$ and you can use it as much as you want. Pretty damn cheap!
