    Not GoDaddy.

    Other than that, go by price and reputation. The DNS service can be replaced pretty quickly for free if their DNS service is a problem. I usually register on DreamHist.com. Then use the free DNS service on CloudFlare.com

      Upvoted for “not GoDaddy.” GoDaddy is by far the worst tech company I’ve ever dealt with, and I’m being generous calling them a tech company.

    If you’re in the US and care about domain privacy, don’t get a .us domain. .us domains are specifically forbidden from using domain privacy.

        They steal people’s domain names, there have been many reports over the past couple of years. If anyone has a domain with them it’s recommended to transfer away. They used to be good, but I assume anyone still recommending them isn’t up to date on their behavior.

            all I could Google were random forum threads with and trust pilot reviews with no proof to back their claims. dbzer0 uses njalla just fine
