Transfering Domain Names

[dave_h]

Can I register a domain at one accredited registrar and then transfer it to another registrar later?

If so can someone recommended some good ones apart from godaddy?

Thanks
Dave

You certainly register one place and then transfer - recent ICANN changes were designed to make this easier. Concerning the recommendation of registrars, we no longer callow that here.

Specific Registrars
On today's web, registration has been deregulated and registrars
are no longer limited to a few select businesses. Instead we have
seen the rise of many all-in-one businesses who will register,
host and help to market your sites all in one stop. Because of this
shift, we ask that you do not recommend specific registrars, just as
we long ago disallowed discussion of specific web hosts.
