Google offers private domain registration for 10$ (includes google apps). If you're planning on registering your domain as a private domain, i think the google route is much better (note: the two registrars they work with are GoDaddy and eNom) Check this Click on Learn More for more info

1and1 offers free private domain with their domain registration or transfer which is $5.99/yr.
I would avoid Yahoo as the service is cumbersome at best. I also hate how you have to use a stupid Yahoo email address for all services and keep a credit card on file for auto billing. Their renewal rate is high too! I'm a GoDaddy Reseller and find their service to be the best of all registrars; however my Buy rate is still higher than 1and1. I have about 50 domains parked at 1and1 and while they are not as smooth to transfer out of as GoDaddy they certainly are cheap at $5.99. 1and1 offers the best value but in the hosting business.... just don't expect any hand holding if you don't know what you're doing.

Did anyone actually use Yahoo before knocking on them? They are big enough where they shouldnt be cumbersome. They do run yahoo groups for free and I never had any problems accessing that service. Anyway, if you dont want to keep a credit card on file, buy one of those prepaid credit cards. I havent decided on who to use yet either. Each has their pros/cons. GoDaddy seems to have better reviews for domain transferring and you pay on a monthly basis if you host with them. 1and1 is cheaper but you got to pay for the whole year and stuck with them (if you host with them as well =)), on top of that I been reading quite a few where ppl are having a hard time transferring to a new host. On the other hand, 1and1 provides free private registration while GoDaddy charges extra. Might be better to just use google and pay the extra $3-4.

yes I used yahoo. They have some limitations in their service. In other words, you get what you paid for. I am changing to GoDaddy now.

I WAS a big 1and1 advocate BUT it's a bit of a scam with transfers. It seems it works this way. Say your domain expires in 6 months but you transfer today. They charge you today and your domain is not extended for another year until that 6 months passes. Then a year from the day you transfer they will again charge you 5.99. Again, your domain is not extended for another 6 months.
Craig, does that sound right?
