Domain registrars
Can anyone recommend a domain registrar? One that doesn’t make me want to claw my own eyes out the way Godaddy does.
Just the thought of having to register or update a domain with their UI gives me the urge to crawl under my desk and sob uncontrollably.

Re: Domain registrars
I was just using it today and I can’t stand that too, but I end up sticking with them because they are the cheapest register with built-in domain privacy that I know of.
If anyone knows of another one, please do let us know.

Re: Domain registrars
Doesn’t have to be the cheapest or have fancy options. Just a simple control panel where I can register, renew and update without suffering through 37 screens of FREE! STUFF! ONLY $0.99/yr [* conditions apply]! ACT NOW!
For the love of god please make it stop.

Re: Domain registrars
Hi Zem,
I’m not sure if that is the kind of service you are looking for.
I think this is an Spain company:
I used to use their free DNS service and it was a very good service (considering it was for free).
I still sporadically receive mails from this company telling me that some service will be down for maintenance few hours… that’s good, they keep their customers informed about what’s going on.

1&1 is pretty cheap and usable with a free privacy option (and a free .info domain at times). I switched from GoDaddy last year to them. It is fairly slow, but somewhat faster than GoDaddy.

Gandi are really good, especially now that their site has been updated. Gandi is the one for you.

Re: Domain registrars
I use register.com . It’s simple and easy and doesn’t take more than 5 minutes each time.
regards, marios

Re: Domain registrars
After a great deal of pain I moved my domains from GoDaddy to moniker and have not regretted it.
The interface is straightforward, without ads, not many graphics. Privacy is $1 a year without complications.
Re value for money, it’s meant for domainers with lots of domains but if you have several domains which you intend to keep, you save a lot by prefunding your account and paying for a few years reg. You might look round for special offers too. I was lucky to get one at the time. It can work out at the same price as Grrrdaddy.
