I've been looking for a company to register a domain name with. I've looked at Network Solutions, MyDomain.com, and Register.com.

For just the domain registration (not interested in web hosting or email through the company I intend to register through), what is the difference? I see quit a bit of difference in pricing: Register.com is $35 per year, NetWork Solutions is $34.99/yr or 29.99/2 yrs or 24.99/3 yrs, and MyDomain is $8.95. Would there be any reason NOT to go with MyDomain.com?

Namecheap.com is what I and many others here use. $8.88/year and your options in the control panel are pretty much as good as they get and its better than godaddy.com

Namecheap gives your more options than godaddy and I like it better IMHO. I used to be a godaddy customer btw.

I use Namecheap. I thought about Godaddy, but the name sounds dirty. Never had a problem with Namecheap.

I never used namecheap, but I'm curious how one can have a horrible experience using a name register?
