I have account on GoDaddy.com. Namecheap is cheaper. Thanks for the link. I saved 7 centavos. Godaddy is good. great service.

I have a domain with both (two domains) and I have no complaints for either :D

I have about 25 domains with namecheap. Its a great service, the owner doesnt forget who pays the bills. I had a problem befor and he took time to email me the details. Lots of features. I had problems with transfering domains, but with the new system, very easy and no problems.

I also have 3 names with Godaddy, I transfered them there when i was in a hurry to get them away from a register i was having problems with. All in all 2 great services that offer alot for the price. Not sure why people still pay the big boys $20-$35 a year.

Take a look at this:

A WARNING TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Please be aware that VeriSign, Inc. (formerly Network Solutions) is sending, via the US Mail, what we believe to be deceptive and predatory domain expiration notices.
The purpose behind these notices is to get the unsuspecting customer to transfer to and renew their domain name(s) with VeriSign Inc. at significantly higher prices.
The domain expiration notices are designed so that it is not obvious that the notices are from VeriSign, Inc. as opposed to Go Daddy Software. To see a copy of one of these deceptive expiration notices, please click here.
Those customers who fall prey to the VeriSign, Inc. scheme will have their domain name(s) renewed at a price more than 3 times higher than would be the case if they renewed with Go Daddy Software.
For a .com, .net or .org domain name renewal, the victimized customer would pay $29.00 to VeriSign, Inc. instead of the $8.95 charged by Go Daddy Software.
Those customers, who fall prey to this scheme, will not receive any better service or value. They will, however, be tricked out of $20.05 per domain name.
Renewal notices from Go Daddy Software are sent via email, and always mention the Go Daddy name. You can be sure that any communications you receive concerning your domain name that do not explicitly and obviously display the Go Daddy name are not from Go Daddy Software.
If you believe, as we do, that this practice of VeriSign Inc. is misleading, predatory and improper, we invite you to make your feelings known by writing to ICANN (who is the governing body for all Registrars and Registries) and to VeriSign Inc. Contact links for both are provided below.

uh, I can't stand verisign! They discust me

[lotsofissues]

I would go with http://www.stargateinc.com $8.85 for one or $8 each for 2 and you also get a pop3 account.



And I guess its because there is no way for Verisign to compete!
