I was catching up on some blog reading when I came across a SEDO blog about Choosing the Right Registrar. The author of the post notes that, in his opinion, the biggest factor in choosing a registrar is price - though there are also a number of other factors to consider such as hidden fees and ease of use of the customer account.

I had been planning on adding some additional features to this domain registration price comparison site - such as whether or not private registration is included in the domain registration fee - but things kept on coming up and I hadn’t got around to it (after all this site is predominantly a hobby and I have to make a living). Reading this blog post, however, reminded me of these additions and I have started to work on them (so stay tuned).

Finally, the SEDO blog post mentioned an important factor in choosing a registrar was how easy is it to change ownership/transfer a domain. For a domainer, this factor is probably the most important - outweighing registration fee. I think in the future I will put up a Poll and let people vote on which registrar they feel is best in this regard.
