I have a bunch of domains coming up for renewal, and I’m told I can renew them someplace OTHER than Network Solutions. Anyone have any suggestions?

A good cheap registrar that I use is Dotster [http://www.dotster.com](http://www.dotster.com) 15 dollars a year, but cheaper if you are registering in bulk or for long periods of time. I haven’t had any probs with them. They are definately 10 times better than Network solutions. About how many domains do you need to register?

I use [Register.com](http://Register.com), and they have given me excellent service and have easy to use configuration tools. I think they charge about the same as NSI.
