Best registrar for managing client domain names?

    I have a few hundred domain names for my business and clients, currently held in a Go Daddy account. This seems to be working out fine, but I feel like I should have something more than a plain old Go Daddy account if I'm going to be managing domain names for large clients. I'm mostly concerned with appearance and security. I've looked at BulkRegister and it seems to be geared toward what I do, but I don't see many advantages over Go Daddy. I talked to someone at eNom/BulkRegister and she said they're basically the same as Go Daddy and couldn't really give me a reason to switch, despite there being a $99/yr. fee at BR and base registration fee of $12 per name, plus a minimum $12 transfer fee per name without registration extension.

    So, what do you guys suggest? Are there any other registrars I should be looking into? If I stick with Go Daddy, should I be taking measures to increase security? I worry that if my account is somehow compromised, every domain name I hold could be stolen. I could split the domain names into many different accounts, but that would be a huge hassle. I want to know what others have done. Thanks.

    You can get a Enom $6.95 reseller for a $200-$400 I think (compared to $6995 that Enom charges) if you do some searching around.

    If you are worried about security, Moniker has the best reputation in the domaining industry.

    Which is why I posted about them, incidentally. :)
