I used to use GoDaddy but I hate their interface and the fact that you have to get upsold a bunch of garbage before you can actually check out.
I moved to NameCheap and have been very happy. I'm interested to see if name.com is any better, but at this point it probably doesn't matter. I just want all my domains in one spot.
Name.com is my favourite. I love the simple interface, and their prices are competitive, too. Personally I hate godaddy so only have domains there if I'm buying to resell. The reasons I don't like godaddy:
-The site takes ages to load for me
-The interface is nasty
-You always get sold a load of crap
-I hate the way they do big advert campaigns. I know it's a business, but it just really annoys me for some reason. lol
I like namecheap
At the time I registered my domain, ix-one.com offered the cheapest alternative, especially for a long-term period.
If I'm honest I've never heard of them lol :D Suppose you came to sell your domains, how successful do you think it'd be? Because not many people use that registrar to my knowledge?Quote:

I bought one domain from them (freefest.net). I egistered other domains with namecheap, netfirms and Windows and they're the only ones who took time to ring me.
They do the job and that is all that I ask. :-P.
To be honest I'm not sure if I'd want my registrar ringing me every time I purchase a domain. I'd rather just get an email, a phone call seems a bit over the top.
How much do they charge for a domain?
They charge $6.99 I believe, and I really don't mind the fact that they called me, it's reassuring... :-P
I don't think registrars can do much less than $6.99. I signed up as a reseller once and the margins are super thin. And for a new domain on namecheap with their monthly discount coupon, I only pay $8.81, so you save $1.82. OK, money is money, but that's half an article. I'm happy with Namecheap and it will be a pain in my rear to move to another, so I'll pay a couple bucks more and work a smidge harder to make up for it!
Some were. Yahoo, for an example, had a promotion some time ago: you could register a domain for free and the following years were 6.99. But those days are over unfortunately.Quote:
