    Hi,

    I want to register a few domain names. But I am confused where to buy my domains? Please advise should I buy domains from name.com , godaddy or namechaep?

    Please advise as per your experience with these registrars. Which one is better in a long run in terms of cost, renewal and reliabilty?

    Thanks

    I prefer name.com because of their user friendly interface. They cost almost the same to register and in terms of reliability I guess these three can be trusted as they are big players in domain registrars.

    Name.com is always my favorite choice. With coupons code, you can get domain name at cheaper price plus a free private whois.

    I don't like Godaddy, just hate their slow loading interface.

    I tried quite a few registrars, I like godaddy the most, easy to use interface, lots of payment options.
    Lots of add ons if your into add ons. Reasonable prices for what you get.

    There are many other registrars apart from godaddy.com,name.com which provides cheap domain registration along with hosting like limedomains.com,hostgator.com.

    If you don't mind paying a little bit extra, I'd recommend Namecheap.

    Fantastic domain registrar- just a bit more expensive than the rest.

    I prefer namecheap.com and I'm slowly transferring all of my domains from Godaddy over to them.

    I have registered a domain at name.com
    They're really good - easy domain management and also free private whois. They hide all your private information unlike some registrars that only give partly privacy (and ask money too).

    If you want cheaper price then use some coupon code, i found mine from this place:
    http://www.retailmenot.com

    Also, the name.com's support seems very helpful and friendly to me. :)
