Looking for new Domain Registrar and DNS Service

[crenn]

My domain is coming up for renewal in a couple of months and the quote for 2 years to renew with DynDNS.com is USD$109, I've pretty much have said that I'll go with someone cheaper. I'm currently looking at godaddy.com for AUD$32 (I found a $5 discount code) for 2 years to transfer my domain to them and with private domain registration. Any one else I should be looking at? Also, I've heard some bad things about godaddy, do you think they should be avoided?

Damn I paid $20 for mine (fugatech-mods.com) but my blog is hosted by wordpress.

Might want to consider something like "freedns".


Don't know their service, though.....

I'll write your website down on a piece of paper with a black ink pen and then put it in a folder in the drawer of my desk for 6.99$

Basically it's primarily the domain registration I need, go daddy still seems like my best bet as I want private registration.

I'm with godaddy for airbrushingtips.net. No issues with them whatsoever.

on a serious note since you guys are some sour puss in boots did you check out 1&1?

0.99$ DNS registration, 4.99$ month hosting.


they're about on par with godaddy.com on the BBB even though they aren't accredited by the BBB.

1&1 was a good one for me when I was running my Uncle's website for his business. Never had any issues. I know someone on here did, though. (was that you Rick?)

It's what my old work used before the company went under and we never had any issues with them.


I'll ask K1dx what he uses.

Yeah, that was me. I spoke to a rep and they couldn't tell me why IIS wasn't installed by default on a Linux hosting package. Baited question I know, but they should have known the difference.

I use godaddy and either zoneedit or my own bind server for dns.

Zoneedit supports dynamic dns to and offers you like dns for two domains free I think.

Don't use 1&1 they are awful read around online
