best domain provider?

[Rami7007]

im buying a domain name... whats the best service to get from? Not hosting, just domain... I think im going to use GoDaddy... are they good?

 

[MrCodeDude]

GoDaddy

EV1Servers was the best, but they no longer are accepting new domains

Namecheap

Go daddy is awsome so far for me

 

[Rami7007]

so GoDaddy is the best? cause they say they have a 3.99 special which i assume is for all domain registers... or maybe its if you get it with hosting or something...



EDIT:
Haha, as i typed the post before this edit 3 people already replyed saying godaddy was the best!!! Damn, anandtech is the best and fastest reply forum around!

Someone needs to learn to count, 2 people said namcheap, 2 said godaddy.

The $3.95 with godaddy is only if you buy something else from them, not just for domain registration ("with each and every new, non-domain product you buy). Namecheap is a couple cents cheaper, and has a much nicer control panel.

rossman says namecheap and i don't cross him (he's big and scary )

 

[imported_LoKe]

Namecheap.

 

[jamesbond007]

My vote goes to godaddy.com!

 

[Rami7007]

Ok so im going to go with namecheap...

Since i am hosting it myself, how do i set up sub-domains... Can i, with namecheap, direct sub-domains to specific folders in my server?

 

[sonz70]

so it sounds like you will need the customer service of go daddy

 

[Mr Nate]

i got my dreamhost name for free

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Namecheap gives you a free year of Whois Guard, which is something I think most people like to have to protect information about them.

 

[amdskip]

Namecheap.

 

[kermalou]

i kinda like GoDaddy and their customer service, I pay extra to my webhost because they have a 24hr staffed CS desk as well.

 

[Twista]

ross sent me to "Name cheap" so "Namecheap.com"

 

[sonz70]

namecheap if your confident of what your doing, go daddy if your ever going to need help.

namecheap.com

it's the difference of 7cents from godaddy to namecheap, but namecheap's whoisguard ownz all.

 

[Mojoed]

I'm a big fan of namecheap.

 

[RossMAN]

GoDaddy.com or NameCheap.com - you really can't go wrong with either.

 

[krackato]

Namecheap seems cheaper if you want Whois privacy. I'm at Godaddy.com right now, but I might move everything over to name cheap since they charge only $2.88/year for privacy. While I typed that, Google probably made a million dollars. Just a thought as I try to save $5/year.
