I have used hover for over a decade. Clean and straight forward interface. Free private whois. Never had a single issue so I highly recommend.

Same here. Hover has never given me a single problem.

Their parent company also owns a postpaid cell service provider called Ting that they operate with the same care and efficiency.

Great people altogether

Hover's parent company is Tucows, listed in the parent article as being the third largest "domain holder".

I started using Hover/Tucows back when they were Domain Direct, as I liked the idea of using a Canadian-based registrar. Hover has been great. I've rarely needed to contact Hover support but they've always been responsive and helpful.

Is there any registrars that don't have free private whois?
Yes. 123 Reg is just one example that comes to mind.
