netsol doesn't deserve to exist. I won't use them again. Register.com got 
all fucking stupid on me, asking for all sorts of identity theft 
documentation. Fuck that shit. They would not let me change my info on a 
domain, so I trasferred everything away, which they didn't want 
documentation for. Dumbasses.

gogaddy is obnoxious, but cheap, has never fucked me over and it's not 
some foreign bullshit front corporation on some tax haven island like 
gandi or any of those other sketchy as fuck places. If I can't walk 
through the front door of your office, I'm not doing business with you.

Godaddy is starting to get more expensive, but I suspect everybody else is 
too. I'm not in love with them, but don't see a close second option at 
this point.
