This has come up before, but it's nice to revisit every now and then in case some new, better options have surfaced.

I like http://namecheap.com - It is cheap, and does everything I need it to.

I go with namecheap too, no problems at all, just works and it's not complicated. Can't be happier.

https://www.gandi.net/ might not be the cheapest, but is without doubt the most trustworthy and ethical

They also give you a free SSL cert with your domain, and their UX for things beyond purchasing the domain doesn't suck.

+1 to gandi. They also have a nice DNS versioning system so you can track all your changes.

Seconding this. I've used it for more than a year, very happy with the spartan no-nonsense interface.

I recently switched from http://www.name.com/ to http://www.namecheap.com/ because Namecheap accepts Bitcoin. All has been well thus far.

Aside from the bitcoin reason, was there anything wrong with Name.com?
