what makes one domain registrar better than the next?

[JoesHO]

Well, the people do. When chipmunk worked for moniker, they were by far the best, but since he is gone the service level has dropped and they are just the same as many others.

I wish an actual owner would give good service so staying with a certain registrar would be easier.

But so far.

Godaddy _ where I am jsut another number, but cam at least call andf get a live person to help and they do a good job

Or Monier -- who is starting to suck service wise now wihtout chipmiunk there. where my favorites so far and I have tried about a dozen so far .
