I was about to post this when I saw your comment and I second you. When I was looking to buy a domain, they looked like a very popular choice, thanks to ads and "positive" reviews.

In fact, some of my less tech savy friends have brought domains and even hosting from them.

As a freelancer, I've had only problems with them. From confusing navigation to bad control panel for hosting, they have everything in place to trouble me.

NameCheap is my go to place for domains and they are really great.
