Hi everyone. I wanted to purchase a domain for the blog I'm starting. After reading some forums and articles about domain registrars, I'm now more confused than ever. I would like to use paypal when paying for the costs so I researched and read some forums and articles. I've read that godaddy is nice but one is unable to purchase the domain using unverified paypal. Others suggested namecheap, some moniker.
What can you recommend? Thanks

When I first started online I purchased a couple of domains at a registrar that makes it harder than it needs to be. Since then I have purchased all my domains from Godaddy.com.
I even get my web design clients to buy their domains on Godaddy.
I have never had an issue and I think I have been purchasing from them since 2003.
I have purchased more than 50 domains from Godaddy without a problem and when it comes to renewing I have had not problems either as I set most of my domains to auto renew.
Some I don't set to auto because I am not always sure when I purchase a domain if I will keep it longer than a year. It depends if it produces profit or not.
But for me it's Godaddy.com all the way.

I did forget to mention that I use my Paypal account to pay for my domains on Godaddy and that makes it so much easier for me. The other registrar requires that I use a credit card and they don't have auto renew.
I even had one domain with the other place expire by one day before they sent a reminder to renew. Then it took me more than a week to get it done right as they seem to make it really hard to renew.
So Godaddy allowing us to use our Paypal account is just perfect.

Godaddy is best domain registrar. You can get a Virtual credit card to verify the paypal account and proceed with Godaddy. Again dont search cheap domain registrar companies they will windup there business in few days or months.
