I'm looking for a good registrar for inexpensive. I have someone to host with, but they don't do registration. Can anyone recommend someone. Looking for $5-$10.

I've just registered with GoDaddy - and so far it's been great. Very cheap, and they offer a private registration if you are an individual so you don't have to publish your home address to the entire world. Also, the hosting does seem great if you did want to switch - you can pay $3.95 for 250Gigs bandwidth per month - most hosts charge more for 10!

I use MyDomain.com now. $8.50/year. They are a reseller for Dotster but have a bit cheaper price.

*edit* Dotster is having a special. $5.99 / domain name. http://www.dotster.com/

The "special" is no longer obvious on their site. Instead there's a big "$14.95 Registrations" spot. ?¿?¿

Well being time limited is what makes a "special" a special... in the retail world that is.

Thanks. I like that private registration part. I've been thinking of going with GoDaddy.

For my main domains I use Godaddy and have been pretty satisfied. The Godaddy administrative interface is very nice. For my less important domains I like 1and1. It's highly rated, provides free private registration and at $6 a year is a bit cheaper than Godaddy.

Ok, I'm using godaddy now, but how do I get my domain to point to my IP address?

I've done this before with other domain service, but I can't find it in my godaddy account page.

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out.
