    Name.com is ICANN Accredited Registrar so never doubt. I have got more than 60 domain(trasnferred for other registrar and registering new domains from name.com). Their support maybe a little slow but if you expreienced managing your domains I think you don't need support.

    Never had any issues with Name.com, have most of my .com there. Haven't used their support at all as never needed them. But I highly recommend them.

    Only trust ICANN accredited registrars. That way you have total control of your domain names.

    http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html

    If you are considering to buy a hosting space that offers a free domain name, make sure the company name is listed in the ICANN accredited list. Or else you'll risk yourself losing the domain name, or become slave customer to the hosting provider. Because you'll have no control of your domain name whatsoever. Beware guys.

    Do NOT buy domain names or hosting service from these companies as i had terrible experience dealing with them. Terrible companies they are, they wont let your domain names go easily i tell you.

    Lunarpages.com

    Name.com and Domainsite.com (both the same company) gets my vote
    I use them a lot
    Friendly company, one time spoke with their CEO too

    Hi jb007uk

    Why are you moving from namecheap? I moved to them from godaddy and found the interface excellent?
