I am about to buy my first TLD, and I don't know where to buy it from.

I was planning on buying it from GoDaddy, but I heard it doesn't have good service.


Any comments or suggestions?
 
Namecheap.com

I own about 30 domains, all registered there. Never had any problems at all.

Plus Namecheap gives you free domain privacy (so that your home address & all your personal information isn't displayed when somebody does a WhoIs search on the domain), but GoDaddy charges $8/year for it.

Read his post...he doesn't want it there -.-

He never said. He was asking if there was anything better then GoDaddy or should he use GoDaddy.

I used GoDaddy and the only think I don't like about it is that you have to pay for privacy.
 
I have a few domains hosted with Godaddy. There are some really good coupons around for cheap domains.

Godaddy is not a good place for web hosting but for domains they are good.
 
GoDaddy overcharges for everything, and you basically have to coupon hunt if you want the price to be a couple of bucks cheaper. I have almost all of my domains registered with them and regret it. They aren't horrible, but they're not great either.GoDaddy also breaks ICANN guidelines and has other issues. I haven't had any problems, but it's best to avoid them.

Go with either Name.com or Namecheap.com, both are very reliable. You also get free privacy, which will save you $8 per year.

Agreed. The domain for my personal site is purchased from NameCheap. You get a free year WHOIS protection (so that people can't see your personal information) and a free SSL certificate. Also with some coupon codes from http://www.retailmenot.com/view/namecheap.com you'll be sure to get a great deal.

So, they're cheaper than Godaddy, the sign-up pages aren't full of offers and they're an all-around decent provider. :great:
