Re: Godaddy.com

I have been pretty happy with NearlyFreeSpeech.net. I only use their DNS and
domain registration services, and so far, I had not had any issues. They
have very straightforward billing and pretty affordable WHOIS privacy. Their
control panel is also simpler (and IMHO  better) than Godaddy's. No annoying
upsells either...

One word of caution: it seems that their hosting service does go down every
once in a while, so if you plan on hosting any sites, you might want to look
elsewhere. Otherwise, I would definitely reccomend them for domain
registration (especially with WHOIS privacy), DNS, etc.

Oh, and as a plus, they have a very good policy for dealing with
DMCA/subpoenas/DHS or whoever might come after your domains :). Of course,
we all know Godaddy's record with shutting down domains and cooperating with
the Feds based on the flimsiest pretenses.

Hope that helps,

K
