Five Best Domain Name RegistrarsHover

Hover may not have the cheapest registration prices on the market, but they make up for it with abundant discount codes around the web, stellar customer support—support that when you call them up, a real person answers when it rings, and hands-off domain migration from other hosts. If you're switching to Hover, they offer a transfer "valet" service, where they'll do all of the work for you and let you know when everything's done. Their control panel and management tools also earned your praise for being clean and easy to use. You can see all of Hover's plans and pricing here.

Namecheap

Namecheap took the top spot the last time we asked, and for good reason. As their name implies, they're some of the most affordable in the business, but domain names are the only thing cheap about them: Namecheap offers stellar customer support, free services like URL forwarding and email, and if you do have more money to burn, you can get advanced services like Dynamic DNS and SSL certificates at bargain prices.

Gandi

Gandi has been registering domain names perhaps the longest of the five here, and is famous for their no bullshit approach to domain name registration and renewal. They're not going to sell you a bunch of services you don't need or want, and they're committed to being honest, open, and up front with their customers, not to mention doing what they say. That reputation—and their history—has earned them a huge following. Well, that and the fact that every domain registration gets 2 free hosted pages for your site, a free Gandiblog, a 1-year SSL cert for free, email services, and more.
