It used to be that domain registration is monopolized by INTERNIC. Or so I thought…well, it was the only one I saw that existed in 1994.

Now, there are hundreds offering to register your domain name. Most of them are affiliates or resellers but below is a list of the top companies that offer domain registration. Each has its own strength. You will have to go through each of them so you can compare all and choose one depending on your needs. One may have better customer support which you can see in the way people who experieced them comment. The technical aspect is also a consideration. How stable are they technically? Another is the company stability. You should also consider the ease of use. More often than not, the price matters and what freebies are attached.
