GoDaddy is a reliable registrar that is like the Apple of domains. They offer free domain forwarding and masking. Other registrars charge, use ad banners, and other tricks to score business.
GoDaddy has more to offer than the rest. They have good coupon offers. I prefer GoDaddy over all registrars. I tried to use the competitor registrars. None are like GoDaddy.Thanks.
