just moved everything from godaddy to namecheap. It was a good bit of work, but glad to have finished it.
I did the same about a year ago and overall I'm quite pleased. After a year they're bugging me to renew whois-cloaking thing on namecheap, but orders of magnitude less irritating than godaddy in all sorts of ways.
gandi.net is a French registrar that I use.
Gandi are by far the best registrar I've ever used. 100% control, 100% decent support and 100% uptime on their free DNS. Couldn't ask for better.
name.com is really good. free private whois, and the interface is really great compared to something like godaddy. they do exactly what i want them to do and nothing more.
