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

I want to register a domain name that I'm not finding via whois.
As far as I know, it is not owned by any domain name registrar.
I found a very long list of TLD registrars on internic.net:
http://www.internic.net/alpha.html
I have never registered a domain before, and I would like to know what
registrars people recommend.
I did not see an archive of past messages on bblisa.org. Apologies in

I've got a pair of domains with godaddy.com. The domain price per domain is
fairly inexpensive and I like the online DNS management webapp. I'd
recommend them for those reasons alone. I do think the menu system needs a
major redesign. Sometimes I'll go 6 months without making a change and I
can't remember how to get back to the DNS management, it's that confusing.
However, it's much easier than having to pick up the phone and wait 48 hours
for DNS changes.
Good Luck!
Scott Nixon

Agreed. 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.

I also have several domains registered with godaddy and have been
happy with their service. 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.

Just wondering how people are addressing multiple OSs for the DST
changes? XP and 2003 are easy, and I've found some patches that do NT
and 2000 also (with silent installers), but I truthfully haven't even
started looking into Solaris and linux flavors yet.
Thanks,

I have a half-dozen or so domains at GoDaddy, and am in the process of
migrating them elsewhere because...

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.

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.
