My cofounder and I are looking to setup our DE C-Corp online and are wondering if anyone here has had experience with any of the websites that do it.

Here are some that we've looked at: www.thedelawarecompany.com www.incfile.com www.incorporate.com www.companiesinc.com etc...

Any recommendations? Anything to make sure is included?

incorporate.com, a bit expensive but reputable company

and yeah, don't pay them for EIN. you can do that for free.

I paid for EIN because I'd rather have my teeth pulled than sit on hold with the IRS. It was only $100 extra.

That's funny, I just did this on Friday! I used Harvard Business Services, URL delawareinc.com, which is not on your list. After reading about a dozen of these sites, they seemed really credible and I liked their tone and demeanor. Bonus: their registered agent pricing is the lowest I'd seen at $50/yr.

agree. watch the price and duration of the registered agent.

It's now Wednesday, and they just emailed me PDFs showing that my company has been formed and everything has been filed with the state of Delaware and the IRS. I'll get hardcopies of everything by next week. You can pay more to have the stuff mailed faster, but this is pretty good as far as I'm concerned. I started the process on their website on Friday night. On Tuesday they emailed me an IRS form to print, sign, and fax back, which I took care of right away. Today I already have a Delaware LLC with an EIN. Not bad at all for $400 total.
