Godaddy and Network Solutions comes to mind, since they are the most used.

Godaddy is cheap and the management console will allow you to do pretty much anything. If you later decide to do ecommerce (or any SSL) it's also really cheap to add it there.

The website is terrible but they're cheap and get the job done. The ability to have full control over DNS records is a nice plus. If you do decide to go with them I would recommend two things 1) The site is up-sell hell so it will save you time if you decide what level of service you want before you start the process, e.g. Do you just want name registration or do you want them to host a web site too? 2) While I don't blame this on godaddy, whatever email address you register with will most likely be harvested by a spammer. You may want to set up a separate email account for this. - Paul Beltrani ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2007 11:48:22 -0500 From: Nicholas Kathmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [BBLISA] DST Patches To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just wondering how people are addressing multiple OSs for the DST changes?

I have a half-dozen or so domains at GoDaddy, and am in the process of migrating them elsewhere because... > The site is up-sell hell... You can say that again. The noise from all the promotions is annoying, but that's not the part that bothers me the most. The more troublesome aspect is the price differentials between new registrations and renewals. For example, it's fairly easy to register a domain there for $2 or about $10 with privacy, but it'll typically cost you twice as much for renewals, and that's the price you have to live with over the long term. You'll see various discount offers at their site and elsewhere, but they're never applicable to renewals. Compare that to some of their competitors that include the privacy feature into the base price, and charge a consistent (low) price, whether it is a new registration, or a renewal. I've looked at 1&1 Internet (http://www.1and1.com/) as a possibility, but lacking first hand information about them, I went with Dreamhost (http://www.dreamhost.com/), who I had prior experience with and knew what their DNS interface could do. They don't promote it much, but they offer domain registrations with privacy for about $10/year, whether you host there or not. > The ability to have full control over DNS records is a nice plus. The DNS capability at GoDaddy is decent, but not comprehensive. I've ran across a few situations where their UI didn't support the record type I needed. Other providers avoid this limitation by offering an "advanced" mode where you can enter arbitrary record types. > While I don't blame this on godaddy, whatever email address you > register with will most likely be harvested by a spammer. You may > want to set up a separate email account for this. Yeah, I wouldn't blame the registrar for this, but I do think a private registration is pretty much a must these days. For a few dollars you can offload spam filtering to someone else, as well as gaining some privacy. I'd still have it forward to a purpose-specific address or address extension. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
