    Godaddy has always been good to us, we've used them for about 3 years.

    Just such for Godadday and hijack domains - I won't use them anymore. Lots of people around these forums have had their domains hijacked by Godaddy for alleged spam - and had to pay a hefty fee to get them cleared. I've stopped using them myself.

    They are both reputable. I've never had a problem with either of them.

    IMHO Moniker has better security than Go Daddy. One thing they do that I've
    not noticed in other registrars is phone verification prior to transferring out.

    Their security policies can be a needless hassle for some, but a valuable thing
    for others. If security is a big thing for you (it is for me), then go with them.

    In the interests of disclosure blah blah blah, I'm a Moniker affiliate. But I've used both and
    will go with Moniker anytime.

    Moniker is more reputable as apprently they've never lost a domain or revoked someone's name cause an email that was sent to the email in the whois bounced.

    I've domains with Namecheap and GoDaddy and I prefer Namecheap.

    Be careful if you go with big daddy, make sure you read their TOS as they've many fine prints to screw you.

    Do a google for "Godaddy steals domain" for their latest fiasco.

    Monika is well known for protecting its customers' domains. If I remember correctly, they have the lowest rate of stolen domains.

    I have domains with both. I prefer them just as equally. But I have heard Godaddy has had some issues. But never has happened to me personally.
