Those of you who own Internet domain names, or are just computer geeks, have undoubtedly heard the VeriSign horror stories. Deceptive business practices, locking out domains, and the subsequent investigation into their operations.

You can transfer to get far cheaper, more reputable and reliable service at GoDaddy or Dotster. ~$8 a year, as opposed to Verisign's ~$23 yearly fee.. And they're not bastards.

1/3 the price, and not the creeps that verisign seem to be, in my opinion...(as far as I know, anyhow)

Now, back to the party.

Actually, I use Register.com

They aren't bastards either. It isn't cheap, but at least your domain is secured. Not only do they let you know way in advance that you need to renew it, but they will also contact you if someone happened to make a URL that is similar to yours.
