Ask HN: Favorite Domain Registrar?

Posted by jackowayed on Wednesday September 08, 2010 @05:19PM
from the ask-hn dept.

There's been a few discussions on this in the past, but there hasn't been a good one lately, and thinks change.

What domain registrar do you use? In particular I care about price and good DNS, but obviously you should mention all the reasons you like your registrar.

http://www.namecheap.com/ comes to mind as a fully functional and responsive partner to work with.

There was a conversation about this a few months ago as well: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1287581 (it might be useful to you)

Namecheap is definitely a good choice.

I highly recommend to everyone who is ever registering a domain name to stay away from Go Daddy. Unfortunately they are always looking for opportunities to make $. They make it difficult to transfer the domains to other registrars as well.

They also look for opportunities to replace your website with their parked page so they can enjoy ad revenue from your traffic until you notice and change it.
