What is a popular, reliable, and decent priced domain registration and hosting service? Emphasis on popular and reliable. I currently have a domain that is maintained by some douchebitch who lives in his grandma's basement and thinks customer support should be done on AOL Instant Messenger. His site is a beta mess with broken links and links that

I use godaddy myself. I pay about $3.00 extra per month for a dedicated IP address -- the site has great prices and good service. I have the first-tier account type, like 5 GB storage and 250 GB bandwidth per month.

How much do you pay altogether when you have to renew?

The plan was so cheap, around 5 bucks a month, that I just paid for 3 years in advance. The other fee is separate.

I wish hosts did customer support on aim because it would at least mean instant replies, everyone uses this annoying support system now, and they do not even accept emails but rather have people log in to their supid system.
Having said that, dreamhost is something I heard good things about.
I am on f2s.com who are ok, used to be better when I joined.

I've pretty much have always used the two originals, networksolutions.com and register.com for domain registration, but I'm old school and they are generally more expensive. Yahoo! advertises a $9.95 deal and I think they'd be reliable, but I haven't done any research into them or any of the Johnny-Come-Latelys.

Now that I'm no longer maintaining my own server, I've gone back to the old school, whenever I'm looking for a host. You can drill down through the Yahoo! directory and find your price. I've also seen a lot of people sing the praises of dreamhost (ooner included), but I've never looked at them, so I know nothing except what I've heard.

Also, because I don't know your content, but if it is of a "questionable" nature, you might want to scroll down to the directory listing on YNOTmasters. They offer a really comprehensive list of sites which allow "questionable" content, all the way from the free up to the big daddy's like Rackspace.

I use wwm.net, it's good to me so far.
