    Thank you.

    I'm using name.com with that coupon, but I want some other registrar.
    namecheap.com free first year.

    I know that Economical Domains has free privacy and theft protection with every domain purchase. I am not for sure of any other registrars off hand that offer this but there are some out there.

    Namecheap is free for the first year, but you can use a coupon that brings the value down to $0.99 for the second year.

    NameCheap is the one I use for this. Very reliable, well-known registrar and worth checking out if you haven't already. Whois privacy is free for the first year, and $7.99 per year from then on, although there are coupon codes available to bring Whois Privacy prices right down. :)

    1and1 has cheap domain names and free whois. A lot of people don't like them simply because they can be slow. I have never had a problem.

    I have heard that 1and1 have a host of sever issues. Maybe you are lucky and live close to their servers, so don't see much of a difference compared to others. I personally find the website loads very slowly a lot of the time.

    Avoid them. Many have had bad experience with 1and1

    But why have they bad experience with 1an1?

    Mostly because they are lazy readers to find a solution for their complains, solution usually available in their knowledge base.

    So even talking about problem to transfer away, that's a myth, I have used and transferred domains in and out 1&1 with no trouble.

    As per the question and besides 1&1, Namecheap offers free privacy for the first year, Netfirms for as long as you have your domain with them, same as Hostgator, but domain registration is pricey.

    Cheap registrars with cheap privacy are Name.com, Domainsite and Dynadot

    Namecheap and Netfirms are not registrars, they are resellers. Also they aren't the only sites where you can get free whois privacy. Correct is: 1and1, Name, Namecheap and Netfirms are some of the '"registrars" who offer free privacy. :p
