Best domain registrars
July 1st, 2007
I have quite a few domains and have been using many registrars over the years.
For .co.uk I recommend http://www.ukreg.com. They are one of the cheapest (123-reg has a poor interface and don’t take paypal).
For .com ($8.88 http://www.namecheap.com ($8.88 you can get $1 off with a coupon or http://www.godaddy.com  (about the same or $6.95 +22cent ican fee with a coupon). Renewals can be a pain in the ass as godaddy or namecheap don’t tend to give discounts. One trick I have used is to transfer domains between the two at a discounted rate and register the domain for a long period of time at the discounted rate. For example I transfereed a domain from namecheap (8.88 renewal fee) to godaddy (6.95 transfer fee) and registered the domain for 5 years saving me about $5.
For .info I use godaddy but there $10.22 renewal fee is a rip off. I am looking for a cheap renewal fee for .infos if anyone has any suggestions, please comment.
For .net www.moniker.com $5.49 an average interface but the 5.49 renewal and registration fee is the best about and they have a good reputation.
Go to domainnamecoupons.com or dncoupons.com to get discount vouchers for domains.

I’ve found 1&1 quite reasonable for both hosting and domains. They also seem to have good customer service and a good range of features on all their packages, even the basic ‘home’ package.
They provide free private registration if you want it which i’ve not seen anywhere else. The only downside is that they can take a while to register your domains. I use Moniker if I need a fast domain name registration.

I found 1and1 to be quite slow too. I don’t think they accept paypal either.
