I'd personally go with GoDaddy, but you might also want to check out Holdfire besides the other domain providers Thomas posted.

QUOTE(divergent @ Jan 4 2009, 09:21 AM)  I use both of those and it's great. I did just use godaddy at one time but you have to pay $53.00 just to not have the add @ the top of the screen. It's like an inch of your site wasted. I didn't pay for that and I got agrivated about the ad messing up some of my layouts with a repeating background like most of the layouts on here. I've been trying different sites like holdfire.net (they still owe me a refund) & mister.net but both of those took a while to get my site live and I didn't like the wait so I canceled those and I was still looking. I tried 1&1 but the same as the other two, it took a while to get my site live and then I was like what the heck and I tried yahoo and I love it! :) ^^ No one will read it cuz it's so long. lol QUOTE(rockguy @ Jan 3 2009, 12:19 AM) yahoo? is it the geocities one? or is it the smallbusiness thingy? I just found it @ smallbusiness.yahoo.com |

I got mines off godaddy. The domains are cheap the adds on also aren't that bad. I pay less than $20 a year for my domain and some add ons.

godaddy is only good for bulk buying.
And yahoo is 2 bucks only for the first yr! Then it costs 10 dollars! |
