    Hi All,
    I need your help.

    Please suggest a very good Domain Name Registrar, who is...

    1) ICANN accredited...
    2) Secure...
    3) Offers domain locking...
    4) Offers a nice Control Panel to renew domain names, changes DNS, MX, A records...
    5) Offers the option of hiding my contact details from public access of WHO IS...
    6) Offers URL forwarding...
    7) No history of stealing domain names / cheating customers...
    8) Good customer service...
    9) Preferably in India (not mandatory) so that I can contact them quickly in case of a problem...

    Note: I am NOT looking for cheap domain registrars. Domain price is NOT a big factor for me. So please suggest only the best ones. Also I am NOT looking for web hosting services.

    Thanks in advance...

    Moniker first.

    What about register.com

    http://ohashi.info/registrars

    1) ICANN accredited... - so many.... not really an issue
    2) Secure... - Fabulous and Moniker would be top 2.
    3) Offers domain locking... - pretty much everyone does, Fab/Moniker have executive lock features go beyond regular locking
    4) Offers a nice Control Panel to renew domain names, changes DNS, MX, A records... - enom maybe? lots of free services do this beyond registrars
    5) Offers the option of hiding my contact details from public access of WHO IS... - most registrars do, Fabulous is only notable one that doesn't (1 of 2 downsides, other is only do com/net/org/info)
    6) Offers URL forwarding... - most do this
    7) No history of stealing domain names / cheating customers... - Fab/Moniker
    8) Good customer service... - Fabulous is far and away the best in this category in my opinion.
    9) Preferably in India (not mandatory) so that I can contact them quickly in case of a problem... - Only major registrar is DirectI in india afaik. And my opinion is they have one of worst interfaces in the business as well as some very shady business practices (lookup hotels.in)

    Try Namecheap.

    They won't offer you the cheapest deal around, but they do have excellent service. Free whoisguard with every new registration.

    Many great(professional) domains are registered there.
    I prefer to use Domainsite than their other registrar the most.;)

    Surely you must be joking right.

    1. Moniker for security
    2. name.com for price
    3. Namecheap.com for good support and free whois
    4. Godaddy.com for new extensions like dot asia etc.,
