Hi, can anyone recommend a good place to register a domain name?? I'm pretty new to website design etc so any help is appreciated.
thx
I always recommand http://www.namecheap.com/ . It's maybe not the cheapest, but it's cheap and I rarely (if ever) hear problems about it.
I have bought two domains from India Internets
www.godaddy.com is the the best u can get[/url]
hey friends iam very much interested in creating a website for myself but i dont know what to do,where to do & how to do?I would prefer small names for my website address and not a very long one.Can anyone tell me where can i do this?..............

Register.com is also a good one
Bluebox is good but it does Cost 6.95 Monthly
Although it says it comes with premade login forms ect
I've always used yahoo domains, simply because they're cheap and I've never had any problems with them.
nivinjoy: I haven't yet found any place that offers a list of remaining domain names, as such it is often best to register a name that consists of small words, especially words that have to do with your site. I don't really recommend it, but you can use leet (search wikipedia) to get a short name if shortness is your most important factor. Also make sure to get a .com if possible, it is always easier for someone remember a .com then having to remember youname.somethingelse... not to mention that anyone who does forget you not a .com will end up giving your business to the .com version...
Edit: just found in another thread:

Give thanks to: reddawn
Hope that helps!
I've always used www.virtualnames.co.uk
Their .co.uk prices aren't bad for a simple plan, just don't host with them... use a re-direct or change the name servers. Not sure how good they are for others though, that's the problem 
I would suggest GoDaddy. You can register your domain at $8.95 a year. As far as I know, that's the best price I've seen in the domain registration market. Check this page too.
you can gain a cheap DN at www.dns.com.cn or www.net.cn
i would suggest www.idwebhost.com for indonesian webmasters to rent domains. it's not cheap but it has great service. they stay on business even they get an earthquake.
I have got some friend that got their domain by http://www.crystone.se/ and have nothing do say. Because is very cheap, and also very good!!!
Do not use optinom. Actually that's a bit unfair, it's not as though I've had a problem with them, it's just DNS service is extra. I use EveryDNS to make up for it which isn't too much of a hassle.
i just bought a domain name today from www.wayinfotech.com i felt they are the cheapest.
I haven't used it yet but, I would recommend http://dreamhost.com because many useful sites I visit daily, use this host. It seems very cheap and offers a lot.
the best place for domain registration is http://www.register.com register.it is used by most of the websites.you can also try http://www.net4india.com.Yahoo! is another option .
byee
abhi 
I agree with Edas, vivaprint and others, GoDaddy is the best place to register domains in my humble opinion. I wish their management site was a little faster, but its not terribly slow.

What are the problems that may the customer face with these sites .?
If they stop for any reason , what will happen to the domain names which were registered there ?
Thank you
guys sorry OOT, but what does ICANN certified mean ?

ditto
I have bought two domain names since now. One on Godaddy.com and the another one on namecheap.com . Both domain registrars are great and offer you very good support so you can't miss by choosing one of them. However, I like godaddy's user interface more than one's in namecheap so I will probably buy my third domain name on godaddy.com
i have used godaddy in the past /w no issues...
as for namecheap i will have to try them out!
GoDaddy is the best one around. I never tried namecheap, but it seems to be good. They even accept registrations from people with unverified paypal accounts.
