Best Place to Register Domains

[mandude]

Hey i was wondering what the best site is to register a domain with, based on features and pricing. For example, I usually use namecheap but I just realized for the extension I want they charge too much. But they do give you that whoisGuard. I was looking at 1&1 but in there it said you can only have 5 subdomains? Can someone explain that to me, like if i transfer that to my webhosting and my webhosting allows unlimited subdomains, how many do I have?

Your question appears to be about hosting and not domain registrar. if you want to get cheap domain you can get it at yahoo hxxp://order.sbs.yahoo.com/ds/DomainSearchResults?d=&m=dom&.src=sbs&.p=YD1&.promo=BESTDEAL

I use n**ame.c0m

i like moniker, but i think there are cheaper places out there

my question is not about hosting. I have webhosting. My question is about domain registration. and yahoo sucks they charge too much. I previously stated that I use namecheap for my domains. In a separate question, I am asking people that know, to what i think is in relevance to DNS servers, why they say 5 subdomains, but if I transfer the domain's dns servers to my hosting will that remove that limit?

I am not sure what you mean by 1and1 only allowing 5 sub domains. I believe you can have up to 1200 for each domain. I think you have mistaken it with their offer that you get 5 domains when you sign up for one of their hosting packages.

rodney just go to the domain overview and scroll down and it says "Domain features" with a bunch of green checkmarks. then subdomains=5

I have six domains through 1and1 with the business package and I can promise you it is not limited to 5 subdomains. Each domain under the business package is limited to 200 subdomains. I don't know what package you are looking at but maybe if you look a little further you will see what I am talking about.

Or you can see for yourself.

Yeah, I like name.com too. Free privacy with every purchase. Their prices aren't half bad either, considering the free privacy.

I'm a big fans of GoDaddy.
if you use coupon OYH3, you will get .com for $6.99

Moreover, if you register 5 domains at once, you will get a free upgrade of Free Privacy too.

went with name. thanks! not the cheapest but seemed reliable. 1/2 the price of namecheap, ironically.

I use Name.com too i think they are really good at pricing and Who Is Guard and everything, So Ou shold Use too!

so name has a FREE anon-whois and is only 5 bucks on FIRST YEAR. How about the rest of the years?

Not sure about their service but that is usually where it can get expensive.

 

[Nixte]

depends on what you want to do with the domain ...

for resale and whitehat, GoDaddy ... otherwise I prefer Namecheap

 

[RandomStuff]

Hmm.. never heard of name.com .... although, ironically, it's not loading for me at all. (getting connection timed out errors)

I usually go with namecheap. I used to use Godaddy, until I read about the horror stories that Internet Marketer's would have with them. (holding the domain hostage for a "ransom fee" because of "spam complaints". F that.) Pretty much ensured I'll never use Godaddy again.
