Jed -

Interesting timing.  I just signed up for another domain name today 
with godaddy.com.  I have had a domain name registered with 
with them for the past couple of years (although I host it through 
another ISP).  

Godaddy seems to be especially responsive to domain name 
registrations - being that they are known for the volume they
process.  They also seem to be aggressive with other services
like domain forwarding/masking.  I've yet to be disappointed 
with them and they are responsive to customer service requests
and its easy to login and see where your order stands.  They will
automatically send out reminder emails when your expiration is
coming up and if you have a credit card on file, can automatically
renew for you if you want.    

BTW, I used to be with Network Solutions.  What a rip!  
Expensive and I had some problems getting things set up.
