I'm not affiliated with the company in anyway, but I'm a big fan of http://iwantmyname.com/ http://iwantmyname.com/ for domain registration. Super quick and easy especially if you're using Heroku or GAE. It's depressing how little GoDaddy has innovated and how dominant it still is.

Many people expressed the same sentiment when I posted this last year: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=746386 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=746386 I did note a small reduction in the percentage of YC domains registered with GoDaddy, but nothing significant. :/

For me, a domain name is a commodity, so I go for the cheapest: GoDaddy.

  1and1 is almost always cheaper than GoDaddy. Currently it's $4.99 for the first year and $8.99 afterwards. GoDaddy is $11.99 per year.

    You never have to pay full retail at GoDaddy. Not for .com at least. There's at least one coupon available 365 days a year; check retailmenot.com.

      Even with the 30% coupon it's still not cheaper for the first year or following years.

        Does it matter if your domain costs $3 more or less per year? I'll gladly pay plenty more only to avoid being exposed to the ridiculous mess that GoDaddy calls a web interface.

  It is but I value my time more than the one dollar difference between GoDaddy and namecheap... I don't want to spend time navigating through all the bunch of upsell crap from GoDaddy and then pulling my hair dealing with their awful dns settings...

  I pay nearly at registration costs elsewhere. Godaddy isn't the cheapest. Godaddy has done the most/best marketing, that's all.
