my favorite of all these is name. namely because it's not godaddy, and it's not as expensive as the two mentioned in the article.

Just bought my first domain name at GoDaddy 2 days ago (it's a .co, and GoDaddy has a nice bargain on those). Oh well, maybe I'll transfer in a couple of months.

Actually I hate the web interface and domain management panel. "Too user-friendly" and too many options.

Articles like this only add to my confusion on the internals of HN's voting algorithm, and how some content ends up on the front page. However I have to agree with the title : don't go with GoDaddy. Searched for domains, they were free, came back a few hours later and they were scooped up by an anonymous chinese "company", offering to sell them at an obviously ridiculous price. Scam if ever I saw one.

"GoDaddy's interface may be user-friendly" ...

...huh?! The single worst thing about GoDaddy is its user interface.

When you choose a registrar, pick the cheapest. Honesty, how often do you muck around with your domain settings? Once a year?
