[Hidden-tech] Website Domain Question

[Michael Muller]

I'm actually a fan of GoDaddy, and have 550+ domains registered there. 
Yes, they add a couple "hey, buy this, too" screens when you're 
purchasing, but if you skip them, it's fine. And only the special 
domains go up in price, like .store etc. At $15/mo, they're par for 
price with everyone.

Stay far, far away from Register.com and NetworkSolutions.com. Total 
nightmare.
