From what I have heard, GoDaddy is "really bad" in terms of client support and hosting. However most people just use them for domains so it's not a problem. Anyways, it's recommended that you don't have hosting in the same place as your domain name because it's a double curse if you break terms.
Me personally, I have Namecheap as my primary domain registrar with no issues at all.

I would say GoDaddy and Namecheap are the best domain registars. I use both and I don't have any issues with them whatsoever. Even GoDaddy. I've heard stories about them, but they don't seem to be true IMO. So I would go with Namecheap or Godaddy.

Only once I have hundreds of domains in a single registrar service, which happened to be RegisterFly, but after its debacle all my domains went to different registrars so I have tried a lot of registrars.

Actually I have very little domains, but in 3 different registrars; GoDaddy, NameCheap and Dynadot, mostly chosen by low pricing, discount codes or special offers.

i use http://www.zippozap.com/ to register domains. i feel this as good and safe.

I prefer using GoDaddy because it is a great domain provider. They provide great and excellent hosting services. They have wonderful coupons and offers to give you. I love their discounts. For a second choice, I would use NameCheap, because they have a free WhoIs guard. Overall, those are the only two providers I would use.

I have a .com domain with godaddy and a .net domain with maddog. I like maddog a lot more than godaddy; with maddog is very easy for me to add new domains and all that.

I'm always opened to take any domain registrar offering good prices and looking reliable to trust in so I paid a visit to Maddog to see because I'm always lost with GoDaddy's control panel, and every interface change I have seen since I joined many years back, have not contributed to make it more user-friendly.

However Maddog seems to be a GoDaddy's reseller registrar so while the prices look appealing (I know its resellers can sell for lower prices) I'm unsure about the control panel.

I think my problem is having started my domain registration experience with RegisterFly, which control panel was the best I have ever tried since.

I use Godaddy and Namecheap. I prefer Namecheap for how easy it is and how it looks, but I like Godaddy for cheap domains, like $1 .com domains promotion that comes out sometimes. Most of my domains are on Namecheap, but I've still got the odd few on Godaddy.

I used to love that one-dollar promotion but since a while back that promo is only available for credit card holders so people like me, who mostly use Paypal, cannot longer take advantage of those offers, and that's truly sad :(
