For .ws I highly recommend GoDaddy just do to the fact that .ws can NOT be transferred. So until the .ws registry changes their policy, your domain will be stuck there. $9.99 is probably not the cheapest, I seen WW resellers have slightly lower rates but why would you want to risk it with probably a couple dimes in savings? Without any special promotions, $9.99 is highly competitve. I would pay the extra $0.10-0.50 cents so I could sleep well at night and not worry about a reseller going broke or jacking up the prices. I use to use eNom for the .us but when the promo ran out and prices jumped up to $6.95 in my reseller account, I went to GoDaddy. You don't have to worry as much with .us though because they can be transferred. I hear 1&1 has some rock bottom prices for .us
