Registering a domain name

I'm going to be registering a .com domain name soon, does it matter who I register with?

I was planning on using godaddy.com to register, because I have a coupon code, are they good?

I don't need hosting yet, I just want to hold a domain name for a future buisness venture.




On a side note, what does everyone think of using the Flickr gimmick of dropping the "e" from the name? Is it overrated? Could I face legal trouble if I used that technique? Will people take me less seriously?'


Thanks in advance for thoughts/advice
 
Namecheap.com - much simpler control panel, doesn't try to sign you up for 50 million offers when purchasing a simple domain, and you get a free year of whois guard.

confirmed. i fvcking hate godaddy because of the 3850 pages of useless clutter and add-ons they want you to buy into. plus there's that whole bob parsons mantra about it.

oh, and any thoguhts on the naming of my domain? would you do buisness with a web 2.0 company if they had a name that coppied the "r" thing from flicrr?
 
I use namecheap for all my domains. $5/year simple hosting @ e-rice.net so I don't look like a squatter.

i think dropping the 'e' from trader is a bad idea... imo textrader.com would be best
 
too late!! I just registered both of them for a site I was planning on building, but I'd be willing to sell you one of them.. 🙂
