I've been using them for well over a decade. No nonsense, low prices, interface miles better than GoDaddy.
Yet another NameCheap recommendation. Pretty awesome, and a usable -- if ugly -- UI.

#92http://name.com I've used godaddy, namecheap, and 1&1, but ended up switching all my domains to name.com. One of the best interfaces I've used as it doesn't try to abstract the DNS records from you. That was one of my biggest issues with 1&1 and godaddy - their interface made it so that I never knew exactly what my DNS settings were, just what the spoon-fed messages that I was given told me. The only "abstracted" thi…
Its clean, no BS, and just works.
Second, it lets my boss deposit cash as name.com prepaid 'credits'; so, I can act on domain purchases/renewals without running to the accounts guy everytime.
I hear namecheap does the 'credits' feature too.

Seconding namecheap. They usually have coupons as well.
3rd recommendation for NameCheap here. I've used them for 4 years, never had a single problem with my domain portfolio. They are 2nd to no one. The bonus is that NC offers their excellent services at the cheapest prices... do a google search for their monthly coupon.

#96Gandi.net is my favorite. Decent prices, big selection of ccTLDs, great UI.

#98http://godaddy.com/ - Cheap (esp. for just a year, renewals are a bit more) but their interface sucks. http://namecheap.com/ - Almost as cheap, and has a much better interface. Those are the two I use exclusively, minus some for ccTLD-specific domains.
I suspect they are increasing revenue as they prepare to sell the company.

#99Google actually registers domains (in partnership with outside registrars): https://google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new $10. The advantage is they come all easily configured for Google Apps usage.
I use this too, although I'm not entirely happy with what a PITA it has been to transfer domains if I sell them or give them to other people. It's a pretty good deal though, you get a domain with email, apps, etc... built in, all for 10$.

How do you transfer them? I've searched for a while and never saw an option in the customized GoDaddy interface that the Google Apps domains use.
