Go Daddy - Registrar of the Year
Jan 30, 2004
?For the second year running Go Daddy has remained head and shoulders
above the rest the best domain registrar, managing to again earn the
title, Registrar of the Year 2003. This award is given to one
registrar annually who exceeds expectations in price, service, and
available features.
Go Daddy managed to stay the leader in domain registration in 2003 by
offering the best deals on domain name registrations and providing
quality supplementary services such as; hosting, email, privacy
protection registrations, spam blocking software, and more.?

DirectNIC
http://www.directnic.com/
?(..) DirectNIC has the best management tools. By logging into the
domain manager users can control and see all the domain names that
have been registered by the user, when the names were registered, and
when they expire. DirectNIC sends reminders before it is time to
renew, so registrants are never caught unawares with an expired
domain. DirectNIC customers may choose what information is displayed
in the WHOIS registry for each domain and how they would like to be
contacted for renewal.?

Register.com
http://register.com/
?Because not every registrar is authorized to register .co.uk, .tv,
and .jp users may turn to Register.com when a country code top level
domain is needed. Register charges $35 for registrations, which is a
good deal for most ccTLDs, as the country codes tend to be a bit more
pricey than the gTLDs (.com, .net, etc.) Register.com has a slick
registration process, and registrations include a free start up site,
and 24/7 technical support.?
