another vote for godaddy. There are cheaper places sometimes but overall godaddy has the most control at your fingertips. Only thing it is could be overwhelming for someone brand new to registering a domain as the site is just sooo busy with info and links and options.

stay away from ipowerweb though lol. They had a promo a while back for $2.95 domains (might have been $2.50 even) but their management and support are just terrible. I also had a couple that just never actually got registered even though I ordered them. So if they had been popular names, I could have lost out on it and had to reorder!

No problems with godaddy at all so far though.

It's nice to know that there are so many happy customers of godaddy. I will definetly check them out and buy from them too. It's so nice to have all these recommendations from people who have already been through it.
