Need opinions asap. Which register, and why?

    Paypals bank deposits came faster than expected so I am now verified. I am going to order a domain as soon as I hear from a few of you. I want to order from the right place, and not have any regrets.

    I'm leaning towards godaddy or namecheap, but domainsite also comes to mind

    Who do you like?

    How long have you been a customer?

    Any problems?

    Browning,

    >>Who do you like?
    resellerclub http://resellerclub.com

    >>How long have you been a customer?
    I have been with them for 4yrs now. I am a reseller there but i dont resell the domain. I register the domains for my personal use. Get them at cheaper rate.

    >>Any problems?
    None so far. They have always responded very fast to my queries. Every reseller get a dedicated account manager.

    They always run promos and i think currently they are the cheapest for .net domains $ 4.99 and .info at $1.69

    I fund using my paypal account.

    You can check their current promos at http://resellerclub.com/promos/

    They have slab based pricing meaning, the higher your volume of transaction with them you get lower pricing.

    Namecheap

    How long have you been a customer?

    3 months and counting

    Any problems?

    None whatsoever

    Reason I like them is because you can buy a domain in seconds, and transfer it quickly if your selling it.

    Gonna go with namecheap. What's the latest coupon, and does it work for .info as that's what I'm buying first:)

    Thanks to those who posted:)

    thank you. I think the domain I'm buying may be a waste but it's been screaming buy me. Maybe a trademark issue, dunno

    If you think its worth buying do it, someone might snap it up. At the end of the day you will only lose a few dollars if it has a TM issue, then just learn from that mistake the next time :p

    yea it's only a .info so no biggie. I'll post it here when I get it registered.

    Please be honest even if you guys feel it was a retarded purchase lol

    Is the whoisguard still a free addon? I'm not seeing any mention of it now

    godaddy has cheaper .info? And applying the coupon didnt change anything

    Yeah, whois guard comes free with namecheap, and you can turn it on or off whenever you need to. I vote namecheap.

    Its not a bad name, but like you say it might have TM issues. But if it doesn't have any TM issues then for your first domain its not a bad one :)

    when I found it using a keyword rich domain tool. It said it has like 300,000 searches/year

    dunno.

    How do I find out what I can/can't do. I'd like to make it an adsense site

    What tool did you use to check the keywords?
    I'd go to the domain appraisal section here, and ask to see what others think of this domain, then if no one thinks it will have TM issues, then why not start an affiliate site selling airline tickets or something, if thats possible?
