I hate to admit it ... But the price does affect where I Reg at a lot .......

Godaddy is Great Except for the amount of pages you have to go through to Register/Push/Receive Domains and they have Pretty Fair Prices as well ~

I also use Domainsite / NameCheap / Registerfly / Enom / etc ......... Sometimes the Sales Prices or If the Domain(s) are to be Developed may Make my mind up on which one to use - I like the Control in Registerfly if I intend to develop (Meta Tags etc ... Built in)

Good Luck ~

Same here, GoDaddy.

I just wish they had the same Name Suggestion Tool that Dotster uses.
But their prices are outstanding, as are the personel there. There hosting kinda lags (tried it for like a month and my server was always jammed up)

For Domain Names though I give them a big bright 8/10

I've been using DomainSite before (until we made our own domain reseller), and it worked out fine, with good support & all features & cheap prices

ewww godaddy?
Moniker or eNom.

I rarely buy a name if it's registered at godaddy or registerfly.

They are just horrible registrars/resellers.

Moniker's pro's include personal support.

eNom's pro's are the best cpanel out there.

Prices are the same for me at both places.

Godaddy's pro's = none , i hear fast support though.

I have used RegisterFly since their inception, about 4 years now.
I have over 400 names there & have had very good success. Now they have added phone in support as well.
I guess pricepoint isn't everything for me.
I know GD sells a little cheaper but I haven't felt the need to go to another registrar.
I like the RegFly simplicity of the management & control panel features a lot. When you are managing a few hundred names the "global changes" feature is especially valuable.
I keep accounts at GD, NC, DS, Enom, BR etc. for push purposes, but I generally transfer them out to RegFly asap.

My 2 dimes & a nickle's worth.

You can use PayPal to fill reseller accounts like eNom and Diretci.

If somebody has 100 personal domains I have non idea why they wouldn't get a reseller account. I understand that the basic WWD reseller costs $99 but some of the others cost nothing to open an account.

yes.. enom is good.. but it has two many things in control panel.. its very hard to learn it..

i just got a reseller account.

its strange that if you have retail account then price is like 25 .. 30 dollars.. but with reseller account just 8.95 or less
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=46326

why they should keep retails price 30.. ??

Regardless of the price, I'd have to say NameCheap is the best. It has a good control panel, the interface is good, and it accepts paypal also. I really like it's pushing method because I only need to enter in the persons username to push the domain to their account.
