I would like to know your attitude to several registrars often used for getting doman from:

Godaddy
Directi
sibername
eurodns
name

Is it really matters which one you use, or the price is the only criterion? Do you personally have experience with any of the named registrars?

Some of them also offer hosting solutions, what about a hosting from a domain registrar? Statistically, is it wors0e/better somehow, or less/more reasonable than dealing with hosting providers?

Thanks for the information. See you later.

PS

I might be absent for quite a long time, please do not delete th thread if my activity won't be noticeable for long time.

Apart from prices there also slight differences in the features they offer and it depends on your preferences if you like them or can easily do without them.

I use godaddy/name for all my domains.
But I prefer you to use "name" because the easy of the managements system of the mass domains.

I highly recommend 1and1.com. Not going to name any names, but I know 1and1 is an honest company and there has been no domain "thievery" with them - to my knowledge - unlike some other companies.

I prefer use internetbs.net, but use GoDaddy sometimes.

I use asiaregistry.com so far its been quite good

Beyond price it's important to consider the quality of their support team, and what their control panel interface is like.

The difference between the registrars you listed is very small, and unless you have a very large portfolio, I would look at these other factors before price.

The problem with assessing the quality of support is that the real test is usually when you run into trouble of some sort; therefore one might think to test them beforehand.

Where is Enom? I think that is one of the best domain name registrar. I like them

If you have no need to contact support I suppose that is one of the indexes of the good service

I recommend domainsite, have been using them for years, support is great even on weekends and nights, I always get a live person that can fix the problem.
Domain control panel is kind of "old fashioned" but it works very well.

I have always used godaddy and used Name a bit as well. Name was a bit odd and I really prefer godaddy 100%. Also worth mentioning , I recommend that you NEVER host your names at the same company that you host your websites.

I don't get why so many people use companies besides GoDaddy.

Used many registrars. Mostly oriented by the price. If to point anyone for separate achievements, I think it can be sibername. Not only bonus-rich domaing reg, but also quality hosting proposed.

All my personal domains are with Godaddy or Enom. I like them both.

I prefer to use Dreamhost over other domain registrars.

Great info, I got my site from a local provider and with the fact that they are very close to where I live and it is small, the customer service is great.

I used godaddy for this purpose than any of other. Yes sometimes I also used hostso domain registrar because they provide some discounts on domain for Indian market.

Yes, domain registrar matters if you are planning to sell your domain. People always look for good registrar to avoid later problems. I go for name.com

Go with Godaddy.

Domainsite, enom, GoDaddy and Namecheap are the best of all. They have their own best things to say, and the pricing is not too much in variation when you compare all of them.

Domainsite has a very easy-to-use interface and you can easily change the domain options, nameservers and manage it well. Same with namecheap. GoDaddy is on a higher level of usage but has a great customer support to help you with your needs anytime.
I've never used Enom but never heard a negative review against them, so in my list of best registrars.

Also, domainsite has .info for a better price than all others, an added advantage for those thinking to register .info extension domains.
