Looking for a registrar
Some of us (and Robert, who doesn’t seem to have a web page right now) recently bought a server and colocated it at Hurricane Electric through the California Community Colocation Project. Yay for inexpensive colocation….
This weblog will be moving there soon. (Don’t worry; I’ll post notices and redirect links, etc.) Step one, though, is to get a domain name. I have a name in mind, but I’m not sure which registrar to pick. What’s the best one these days?

I use IntuitiveISP for all of my domain names (good friend of mine in Benicia owns the company). http://www.intuitiveisp.com/
Mark, the owner, is a good guy… they’re a little more expensive than others ($5 or so per domain) but, I know the guy personally and trust him.
They sell domain names, and register them through OpenSRS, which has a good management tool, so you can change what you need to when you need to…
[note: I have nothing to gain from referring you to Intuitive other than to help a friend earn a buck or two]

I’ve used Dotster (www.dotster.com) for the past few years and haven’t had any complaints. I really only use them for the actual registration - I don’t use any of the other features. As such, they strike me as fairly cost-effective ($15 a year per domain if you only register for one year, cost goes down for longer terms). I haven’t done any price comparison in a few years, so there may be better registrars out there now.

I’ll reccomend the popular GoDaddy, they are 8 or 9 bucks per year.
