Gandi is by far my favorite registrar. I started moving my domains away from GoDaddy to Gandi after CNET did interviews with several registrars to find out which were the most friendly to free speech: http://www.news.com/2100-1025_3-6155614.html

Gandi is among the most requested by our customers in our domain registration plugin (which uses the APIs of common registrars to register domains without having to leave the local control panel). Gandi seems to have a lot of fans. And a decent API, for what it's worth.

I have used Gandi for 3-4 years now, and I have no complaints whatsoever. I suppose it could be cheaper, but there is such a thing as too cheap.

Before that: NetSol who are crap, JumpDomain who were worse than crap, and Joker who were OK enough.

This is why I love Hacker News. I had never even heard of gandi and then it gets four positive reviews from four people I trust. Will use it for one of our sister sites (to test before moving over everything) - thanks guys.

Thanks socmoth, I'm gonna go with gandi.net.

It's a little bit more expensive ($15 vs the usual $10 a year) BUT it has a great interface. And you get free private domain registrations, which I think is worth the extra $5/year.
