      GoDaddy is the best registrar that I've found (not that I've used a lot of different ones.) We used Register for years and their prices are insane (in a bad way) and their services are no better than GoDaddy. We don't like that they do a bunch of "the interface doesn't let you do this without calling us but we make it look like it does so that we can charge you" stuff and have lost thousands of dollars to what amounts to "domain name slamming" - we would cancel the credit card on a domain since not-renewing them isn't an option with Register (you can call in and beg them to stop renewing it, but in their web interface the buttons that do that don't do anything because they claim they don't want you to "accidentally" not renew a domain!!!!)

      We move everything that we can from Register to GoDaddy and it saves us like 50-70% per domain and we feel much better about GoDaddy as a company.

        I have used a lot of different ones. Namecheap is the best by far.

            I've had hosted and non hosted sites GoDaddy was one, I've also used blogspot.com & WordPress. Just depends on what your preference is.

                Looks like it's just an affiliate link. No biggy. https://www.namecheap.com/affiliates.aspx

                    It's only a question about registrars. I would never have a site or DNS hosted by any of them.

                      I have tried others, but I always end up going back to Godaddy. You can always find coupons for your first year with a domain and its easy enough to cancel after the first year.
