This is likely to bring about a lot of opinions.

We have tried many.  I won't go back to anything remotely associated 
with the words "go" or "daddy".

We've wound up consolidating all of our domain operations to Tucows and 
the OpenSRS system.   I like them for a few reasons.  One is that they 
have been very responsive to our requests and feedback.  We're far from 
the largest Tucows reseller, but they do take us seriously and that 
means something to me.   Another reason I really like them is their 
no-nonsense interface and customer-facing interfaces.  We can give 
customers either a non-branded OpenSRS login or a branded "storefront" 
login and they're never being solicited for other services by the registrar.

Contrast that with many of the retail registrars who will also try and 
hook you for hosting or VPS or any number of other services that you 
also sell.  Tucows OTOH is happy to sit in the background, anonymously.

Their prices are not necessarily "the lowest" but they are very low.  In 
addition, they will, from time to time, team up with the various 
registries on promotions.  For instance, there was a time a few months 
ago when .info domains were going for virtually nothing.   While other 
registrars will still charge you full price, Tucows will pass along the 
promotion to you.

We've been very pleased.

If anybody is interested, I'd be happy to pass along our human contact 
there for a direct introduction.
