So… I’ve been using GoDaddy for about 10 years mainly because it’s so cheap. And I continue to use them despite their website and user experience, which is an info-overload-trainwreck continually trying to upsell me.  But I ignore it, because it’s so cheap and it gets the job done.

But they have this policy where they continually change the password to your account every 6 weeks or so.  No warning, nothing:  one day you try to log in and you can’t.  I try to get a password-reset sent to me, but half the time the email never comes through, or I need to get in immediately and end up having to call customer support to get it done.  This is exceedingly aggravating.

Well, it just happened again and for the last time.  Anybody out there have any other recommendations for a registrar?  Ideally anyone about the same price per domain (I’m willing to pay a little more, if it means better service) that’s a smaller company with a solid UI and well-designed site.  I’ve got about 3 dozen domains and I plan to transfer them all.  Thanks in advance!

You can get coupons for new and transferred registrations.

For a coupon, search google for: namecheap coupon 2008 . 

I think the most recent coupon code is SPRINGDAYS which brings it down to $8.41 (works for new and transferred I believe).  If you have more than 50 domains, you can email them for a coupon for renewals at the discount rate.

I transferred all my domains there 3 years ago.  Been happy since.  Great backend admin interface.  Reminders on expirations, auto renewal if you choose, etc.

I’ve never had GoDaddy change the password from under my feet. Are you sure you are not having some other problem (like someone else using your account)?

I’ve been using 1&1;hosting for about 6 years.

The price per domain now is 6.99/yr.  They just raised it from 5.99 a few months ago.

I’ve never had any problems with them.

123reg here in the UK, been using them for 6+ years, very good.

I’ve been using joker.com for my names, web site is slow and a little cumbersome, but the service is reliable.  $US12/yr for .com/.net/.org domains.
