All,

I second the motion for GoDaddy.com.   I have been with them for about 5
years or so now, and I can't remember
Having any downtime.   Rates are reasonable too.


	
Regards,

	
Jim

I switched from Register.com to GoDaddy.com a few years ago. I've found
their service to be far better than Register. Their web management
interface works well giving you full control of your DNS records
including SPF, so you won't have to learn zone files.
