I've been pretty happy with DirectNIC. $15/yr for the major TLDs. If you
have more than 10 domains, you get to use the bulk management options. They
also have really fast turnaround on support tickets, in my experience.

DirectNIC. You know, the guys that hung out in New Orleans during the
hurricane and aftermath?

I've pondered switching to GoDaddy, but the name itself of pretty
offputting.. It just "feels" shady.
