Who is a good registrar these days?

Finding a good registrar is something I've found to be quite a difficult task. There are plenty of them out there, but I've had a hard time finding anything but 100% objective lists (i.e. it has a list of registrars with a link, ordered by name) or lists that are obviously influenced by economical factors (i.e. sponsorship.)

I'd like a list of registrars that can be relied on, are easy to use and have the right features would really benefit web developers/companies looking for a registrar to choose.

It'd be great if along with the name and address for the registrar, you could provide some short facts that make that particular registrar a good choice.

I myself am using GoDaddy, and I find it to be an okay registrar. The user interface is, arguably, hard to follow, but you get the hang of it. There are plenty of features available.

This is somewhat subjective, isn't it? – tomfanning Jul 24 '09 at 8:24
Well, every answer on here is, in one way or another, subjective. Of course, I'd like it if people kept it as objective as possible, with good arguments as to why a particular registrar is a good choice (and I note: good choice, not the choice; I just want to have a list to choose from, because right now I have nothing to go on, due to Google results being so irrelevant.) – Blixt Jul 24 '09 at 8:26

Gandi is really great ! OVH is pretty good too but not as good as Gandi.

Gandi is really really simple to use and has a lot of features for "just" a domain name. Their support is efficient. They also do some VPS hosting on Xen and SSL certificates. At my previous job we have 3k domains with them and we rarely had any problems.

Why? Simple to use? Good features? – Blixt Jul 24 '09 at 8:27

I used dreamhost and everything is perfect. GUI's are not messy like godaddy. ;)

Here's a chart of the market share of the largest ICANN accredited registrars worldwide. GoDaddy is the largest, eNom is second far behind.

I myself use eNom since a few years and am quite satisfied. The only problem I have is that some of the European ccTLDs are quite expensive if bought via them.
