Avoid resellers / 'cheap' registrars like NameCheap, GoDaddy. DNS propagation, domain 'locking', etc. is so much easier to manage and faster using registrars who care about their business. Hover comes to mind, recently I've transferred everything to CloudFlare.

Ah! Will think over this. I have too many domains and I might need to pick a good one for some of the primary ones that I do not want to lose.

I have heard good things about Cloudflare as a registrar. In-fact, I suggest them to a friend who uses it. However, I user Cloudflare for DNS for most of my domains. SO, I won't move the domains registration to them.

DirectNIC. Based on Louisiana. Very professional. Been around forever.

Not the cheapest registrar, which is a feature, not a bug.

If your registrar is competing based on nothing but cost, it has to make up the money by cutting elsewhere.
