Summary: SimpleURL is a domain registrar that I've used for many years that provides low prices and excellent support.
As of yesterday, I own 69 internet domains. I've registered them all through SimpleURL, a service of Simple Online Solutions.
It's easy to get wrapped up around pricing when looking to register a domain. SimpleURL's prices are quite inexpensive, but certainly not the absolute lowest that you'll find around. You might be able to save a buck or two by going elsewhere.

But in my experience - it'll cost ya.
What has kept me at SimpleURL for many, many years is simply this: service.
Any time I've had an issue, or even just a question, the response has been accurate and reliable. Just yesterday when I registered domain #69 there was a hiccup in the process. The response? "Here's what the problem was, and it's fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Perfect.
For something as fundamentally important as the ownership and registration of the domains that identify you on the internet, I'm absolutely willing to pay just a little more for that level of comfort.
And like I said, it's still pretty darned inexpensive.
My needs are fairly basic: I register my domains, and then I go off and handle things like DNS, email and hosting all on my own. However, SimpleURL provides a range of services including not only registration, but Whois ID protection, email forwarding, email hosting and web hosting.
I'm a happy SimpleURL customer and have been for years. That's why it's about time I said ...
I recommend it.
