I now use <a href="http://www.namecheap.com" rel="nofollow">www.namecheap.com</a> for domain registrations. I don't know if they have an affiliate program, I actually haven't checked.<br><br>They're reasonably priced and fairly easy to use. They also have some good competitions. This weekend they had a superbowl sunday thing on twitter where they posted questions each hour and they gave out a domain name to 3 people each hour, plus some bigger prize as the grand winner...

I of<br>course am hopeful that they come out with some coupons or incentives in the<br>future. Thanks for the comment, I have been completely satisfied with the interface

I have over 50 domains under my account and first of all, their organization on Domain manager is very complicated.

One of them is their phone support. Whenever I had an issue with a domain registration, transfer, sub-domain etc. I could get a person on the phone in less then 10 minutes and get the expert opinion on my situation. Another one is their coupon process. I purchase domains as bulk so I enjoy getting $25 discount on new domain purchase and renewals totaling over $100.<br><br>As far as <a href="http://name.com" rel="nofollow">name.com</a>, do you find their price competitive?

You do make a valid point about the Express Buy but<br>thats not the default, I will say that I was happy with Godaddy for quite a<br>while until I found something that worked better for me. As for the speed<br>issues I referred to, it's more apparent in the domain manager when trying<br>to sort names by expiration date etc, perhaps that has to do with the number<br>of domains I have there but I am by no means anywhere near the top of the<br>"who has the most names" list. I know it is not a browser or PC issue :-)<br><br>Bottom line, if it works for you and you are happy don't change a thing, I<br>wasn't happy so I changed. Hi John,

thats not the default, I will say that I was happy with Godaddy for quite a
while until I found something that worked better for me. As for the speed
issues I referred to, it's more apparent in the domain manager when trying

of domains I have there but I am by no means anywhere near the top of the
“who has the most names” list. I know it is not a browser or PC issue :-)

Bottom line, if it works for you and you are happy don't change a thing, I
wasn't happy so I changed.
