My old consulting co: Tucows, through a friend's reseller site, then DNSMadeEasy; self-hosting (low volume, little content); Google Apps for email.

Current co: GoDaddy. Partners chose based on cost, stayed based on service. Slowly moving away to benefit from better app integration on other sites.

Badger ($10/domain, clean UI, APIs, free privacy protection, integrations, randomly shares name with my alma mater's mascot)

http://www.badger.com/fivebucks gives you your first domain for $5 (if enough people use this I get free domains, but that's not why I listed it here.)

I have an OpenSRS registrar (it costs $100 or so to set up?). It's essentially a pass-through to the Tucows/OpenSRS registrar. I have about 500 domains (mainly because when I register something, I get all variations, likely typos, gTLDs, etc.)

Once I have a spare $100k, I'll probably set up a real registrar.
