In the mid 1990's when I registered my first domain there were very few choices. It was basically InterNIC or someone you had never heard of. The thing is, these "guys you'd never heard of" actually provided value-added service that InterNIC didn't, which meant people like me didn't have to have a secondary DNS server and the like! SO, I began registering my domains with one of these "other guys", Register.COM. Back then, I couldn't have been happier.
We're ten years on from when I registered my first domain, and the Internet has changed A LOT. There are now dozens of value-added registrars, all vying for your business and all trying to squeeze in as much value as possible for the lowest price... except Register.com. Register.com has not added any significant changes to their basic services but yet has kept their price the same. At $35 a pop, Register.COM is pretty-much the WORST possible registrar. I've been using GoDaddy for a couple of years and REALLY like their management tools. SO, today I decided it was the last day I had domains with Register.com and submitted the necessary transfer papers. Hooray!
Now its just a matter of time before I haven't got any crappy register.com domains to manage.
