NameCheap for ever. I don't like Godaddy for their ugly tactics to get more business from you. Have never used Moniker. And visit NoDaddy.com first if you are intending to buy domains from Godaddy.
 


moniker failed to change the dns of one of my domains after i tried like 10 times and got several "SUCCESS" emails. still pointed to their dns. fuck that. transfered it to namecheap. my other domains w/ moniker are fine so far though.
 
apparently moniker is also selective of which domains you can transfer from them. says the domain is unlocked on their interface, but the other registrar says it's still locked, hahaha.
 
I like using Godaddy definately , it's the best way for people who like flipping domains!
 
I've used Go Daddy and just bought a domain from Name Cheap. So far so good. The free Who Is protection is better than paying an extra $10 from Go Daddy.

Its a usual bug, that resolves with a simple email. I got a manager, so I just email her and its done.
 
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]I do like Godaddy control panel and customer service. But I now only buy from NameCheap. Do a search on Google using "this month + namecheap coupon" and you'll see IM forums sharing coupons for the month for namecheap and receive discount when purchasing a new domain.

But my biggest reason for choosing NameCheap is they're offering private registration included withe the purchase of new domain. So after coupon gets applied, you'll gain a domain and private registration for only $8.41 with NameCheap whereas at Godaddy the domain and private registration are separate products that you need to purchase for more money -- maybe like $17 total for both.

Namecheap FTW = Domain + Privacy + Dec 2008 Coupon Code:THREEKING + Good rep = good deal ($8.81 me thinks)

I usually throw in 5 throwaway .infos also to get private registration on whatever .com I'm registering with GoDaddy. Ends up being the same price as it would be if I paid for private registration, but I get 5 more domains to inflate my portfolio that will remain parked for a year until I let them expire!!

But I had never thought of buying up .infos and applying the private registration to domains I already had registered that needed it...great idea. Thanks for the tip.
