It's been said often before, but namecheap.com seems worth a look. Their "WhoisGuard" (or whatever it's called) is "free" the first year (I'm not sure about transfers) and about $3 per year after that. And their domain name pricing for the "usual" TDL's is about $10. There's always some coupon that will save you a fraction of a buck, sometimes more, if you google "namecheap coupon". Now that namecheap has implemented persistent HTTPS throughout a logged on session, I don't feel uncomfortable mentioning them. gandi.net and nearlyfreespeech.net are mentioned here frequently, as well (e.g. prior comments here -- vote them up, not me). I don't have personal experience with them. I don't know how suitable these providers are for "commercial grade" registrations. In my "real" work, other people buy those thing. (I'd be interested in any informed perspectives on this.)
