I use Namecheap.com and name.com to register domain names.

Cheap hosting

GoDaddy but I always use a coupon when purchasing to bring the cost down. The reason I use them is that I also purchase domain names from private sellers and most of those are already at GoDaddy. Makes it easy to keep them all in one place.

I've been using and recommending aplus.net for years now. Good prices on .com/.net ($8.40/yr .com, $7.95/year .net) First year free with hosting. Good hosting packages to boot. Very reliable. And what has always won me over was their support. I've always used their live chat support in the past, and I can't think of a single time where they didn't have an answer or solution for me in minutes.

I'm sure there are cheaper places to get domain names, but aplus is going to keep my business until I get a good reason to switch.

The one thing I'm not wild on is their custom control panel system. In many ways it's pretty retarded. But it will get the job done. Just not as easily as it should.

I've used several...iPower, 1&1, hostmysite.com are a few not mentioned so far. I'm still with them after a few years and I have no complaints.

I have been using Namecheap.com for 3 years. It is a great registrar. Their pricing is affordable and using a coupon even helps you save more. It makes it easy for you to transfer domain names to and from them.

Guys,I would add Enom domain registrar to this list as well

JLHC · 09-30-2008, 10:44 AM

Go for NameCheap. They are the best among all registrar that I have used.

or go for godaddy if you like the crappy control panel.

Can you enumerate the advantages of NameCheap?

**netridge** · 09-30-2008, 09:28 PM

by far namcheap tops the list for me, their interface is clean and simple.
