Who is the Best Registrar? (take 2)

Posted by Cliff on from the once-more-'round-the-DNS-round-table dept.

cardozo asks: "Since my registrar recently did a bad customer service job with me, and their site wasn't all that easy to use, I'm in the market for a new registrar. Slashdot has responded to this question in the distant past, but the world has changed since Feb 2000!. Price is important, but customer service is too. Features are less important to me, but I can imagine that having email forwarding, etc. would be nice. So who do you think is the best registrar?"

    I have to disagree. After registering meep.ws there a couple months back I've vowed to never use GoDaddy again. The advertisements on their site are HORRID, I was really taken aback at the way the ads were in-your-face the entire time I signed up for the domain.

    Why does a legitimate business who is ALREADY getting my money need to also assault me with a barrage of advertising?

    I would expect such blatant racism on Fark, but on Slashdot? Mods please ban this asshole.

    How do you think they're able to offer such rock-bottom prices? Frankly I've been much more impressed with godaddy.com than with some other registrars who, despite charging 3-4-5x as much, subject you to similarly annoying advertising.
