[Cialug] A good domain name Registrar?

[Claus]

I'm using Gandi primarily as well and was very pleased with them.  Back 
in the old day their price was a pretty good bargain but now with the 
weak dollar and more competition their rates are a little higher.  So I 
understand your reason for the switch.

The quality of service is really what makes me a bit hesitant to switch 
registrars.  I have a .us domain that I registered with 
www.totalregistrations.com (cause Gandi doesn't do them) and I had 
issues with their management interface not working correctly.
