Need a new Domain Register
I have some domains with namesecure, and some with namecheap, and I'm getting really annoyed with namesecure. They are doing all these e-mail upgrades, have been a for a while, and now it's my turn not to be able to access my mail, and it's really annoying.
In any case, I want to transfer some of my domains out of there, and don't want them all in the same place, so I don't want them all at namecheap. Anybody have any suggestions?
I pretty much need URL forwarding, e-mail either with a mailbox there, or forwarding, and that's about it.
Figured you guys would know who works for you.

If you own multiple domain names make sure the Registrar supports managing all them through the same account.
I have several domains through dollardomainname.com and while I'm happy with the cost, and general support, they can't seem to combine all my domains into one management account which is a royal pain.

After unsatisfactory service from NTT Verio and its registrar, I took the advice of FlyerTalkers and switched my hosting to Pair, and transferred my domain to Pair's in-house registrar, pairNIC.
The transfer was seamless, and when I called with a question I got an immediate, on-target answer from the tech person, who was in (IIRC) Pittsburg PA, not Bangalore or some other telephone-support abyss (he even had a sense of humor, imagine that)
Highly recommended (and thanks again to the FTers who originally recommended Pair to me).

PLUS, GoDaddy has DomainProxy which hides your personal information

I am a little confused 
... what is so special with some services..?
Since a couple of years I use for all my domains http://www.buydomains.com for domain registry, and NTT/Verio for hosting (provider). Never had a problem, and not expensive.
