They have a very easy interface to manage your domains and their zones. As a result, if you develop your business and need more domains, you'll save a lot of time.
Plus, they have a good customer service, they offer SSL certificate for 1st year, and free emails addresses.
Noooooo!!!! None of those. I go with Gandi.net Check them out. They are good people and give back. Never anything but great experiences with Gandi. You'll get a free year of ssl certificate and 50% off hosting. But, to really do it on the cheap, get a BeagleBoard Black and a free micro instance with AWS to route traffic to the BBB, which you just run at home. One time cost of 35$ish plus domain registration costs. Al…
If you're interested, I'll host your domain for free. I have lots of bandwidth on my VPS, with nothing to use it for.
I love iwantmyname.com. Great company, great site, great support team, and has almost every TLD out there new or old.

There's a distinction here between DNS hosting (telling people what address "foo.com" should point to) and domain registration (making it known that your server "owns" that domain and is where people should look for information about it). The former is just running a DNS server, anyone can do it. But the latter involves being an official "registrar" and paying alot of money to add names to the root nameservers' lists…
Otherwise I like EuroDNS [2]. They have decent service and a pretty good web UI overall, compared to some of the other companies.
Anyways, you probably should consider actually reading the ToS for the companies you are planning to do business with. I think at least Gandi has fairly vague terms on which they can terminate the service: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3388928

I've been using NFS for years on low traffic sites and have not had any issues. For the unfamiliar, it's pay as you go for bandwidth and storage, with discounts as you start using more of each.
The interface is ancient, and they pass CC costs on to you, but for the price, I've yet to find something better.
GoDaddy has had a lot of social engineering scandals, I wouldn't ever do any business with them. Been with namecheap for quite a while, had no issues.
I had a renewal time-out in the middle of a card verification last month - and that's really not something you want.
