I use <bleep> only $9.99 a year but are there any other services at around the same price?

Thanx

I use registerfly, an enom reseller. It costs a dollar more than godaddy for the first year (renewals are same price), but as far as I know has more services for no additional cost, like catch-all forwarding.
Only disadvantage is that the site is quite slow.

I use GANDI dot net (GANDI is an acronym in French). It costs 12 Euros a year, same price for new registration or renewal. They will host your DNS for you for free, or let you designate another DNS provider. If you so desire, they will let you put a redirect on your domain until you have hosting, and will let you set up as many as 5 forwarded e-mail addresses plus a catch-all. They'll let you change any of that on a whim using a secure web interface. They don't, however, offer any notable degree of tech support and are fairly explicit that they won't even answer an e-mail if the answer would be 'you can do that yourself from the web'. This has not been a problem for me.

eg, for the first several months I had my first domain, www.mydomain.org redirected to www.cs.myalmamater.edu/~dingman/mydomain.org/, and most any e-mail address at my domain got forwarded to my Yahoo mail account. Now I run my own servers, and switching my domains onto them was a matter of a few mouse-clicks.

I use namebargain. They are a company owned by register . com. They charge 8.88, but you must register at least 10 domain names with them.

BTW, anyone know of somewhere cheaper? I am going to be registering many, many, many domains shortly and would be interested if I can cut costs.
