Who has had experience with the above registrars? Would you recommend them? Is there anything I should know about them? I'm particularly interested in: web.com, 1and1.com, spidence.com and namesecure.com.
Why does 1and1.com limit subdomains at a registrar-level?
Are any of the services listed below each registrars actually not free?
These are the cheapest domain name registration sites that I found. Registration costs are for CNO's, sorted by registration cost. All are ICANN accredited, and all say to include the features listed (note that cheap registrars that did not include a list of features are not shown here):
