I responded (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3388223) to the same person to whom your comment is directed. I recommended INTERNET.BS, and from my experience, what you say doesn't seem to apply to them. Their prices are low, and I have no knowledge of them imposing any related service, or charging for not imposing such. Whatever they are doing differently, to make a profit, is not obvious to me.

Thanks. I'll check them out. They're new to me.

Honestly, as a US citizen, I do get nervous about using a non-US company, but I have no good reason for that feeling.

The name, Internet.BS, did make me smile though. This whole SOPA mess could be called Internet B.S.

I also like the name, and I have yet to find anything to dislike about them, except for the already-mentioned, occasionally-flaky DNS, but I've also experienced that with "bigger" players such as NAME.COM. Apparently, for any domain considered important, DNS should always be handled separately from the registrar.
