    Namecheap is a enom reseller and I think that they are quite good.

    What did you dislike about Godaddy? I have most of my domains with them except for domains that I bought at auction and have been happy with their service and prices.

    If you do not have the discounted reseller account at enom, it can be very expensive to maintain your domain names. Namecheap is a good party to deal with and you get the benefit of enom as they are an approved and reliable enom reseller.

    GoDaddy is okay but just be sure you belong to a country which they would want to deal with. They do not mentioned it outfront and thus I found that Singapore (where I am from) is not permitted to purchase from them. Godaddy tends to try to sell you add-ons and stuffs so just be sure that you read what you are signing up for or else the bill can be overwhelming.

    Have to say i buy all my domains from godaddy and the service and web site has been great.
    I know you can buy cheaper but its very easy to stick with godaddy and they are pretty good on the support side.

    I have herd that there hosting is pants.

    Domain names - yes
    Hosting - NO WAY !

    GoDaddy is the best for domains!

    I only had experience with Godaddy and never had any problems with them and I think you wouldn't occur any problems with them.

    Yahoo $1.99 is only for the first year but not for subsequent years. Also there are reports that it is almost impossible to transfer the domain name out of Yahoo.

    Namecheap is best, it has a easy to use interface. You can also push domains to other user, I have almost all of my domain registered with them and I am happy with it :)

    Haven't you heard Madonna's "Nobody's perfect" :D, there can issue with any company. My friend has lost lost all his websites due to server's hard disk crash, this was his luck. Where your other domains are registered BTW? Just GoDaddy?
