A while back I wrote an article about the top three Registrars at that time. Since then, many things have changed. New players, new features and lower pricing to name a few.
Let's recap what the Registrar does:
1. They hold the master 'database' of domain names on the Internet.
2. They allow anyone to reserve a domain name.
3. The registration record holds the basic information about your website. (IP address, email server, etc..)
The biggest names in Registrars right now are:
* Godaddy.com
* Yahoo.com
* Register.com
* NetworkSolutions.com
We'll take a quick look at each service and compare the features.
Godaddy.com
They are the low-cost leader. For about $10/yr. you can reserve a single domain name. For a few dollars more, you can get private registration or additional domain uses (.info, .tv, .net, etc...). Navigating the site can be a bit challenging since it's very cluttered. However, they do provide the best value and features for domain management.
Yahoo.com
They have raised their prices over the past two years. 1 year domain registration is now $15/yr. (used to be $10). The user interface is fairly simple to navigate, but you need a Yahoo email to login to the domain manager.
Register.com
Not sure why they charge $34.99/yr. for domain reservations. However, they have a very clean user interface and all the same features as godaddy.
NetworkSolutions.com
They are the original Registrar. It all started with them. However, they have not innovated past their beginnings and must be feeling the pain. Their email servers have constant issues and they are difficult to deal with if you need to call them.
Our recommendation for 2009 is godaddy.com.
