does it matter where I register my domain?

hey, so I would like to register a domain. I know that the stuff you get like the cgi-bin, etc is host dependant.

The thing i'd like to know is does it matter where I register?!?

If you know of a good registrar, feel free to post ;)

If you want to get a domain for a cheap price try: http://www.godaddy.com/ ($8.95/year)

It doesn't really matter where you register. When I registered my first domain I paid $70 because I was scared that the 8.50 ones wouldn't work well. On my second domain I only paid $13 and it works just as well as the 70 one, even has faster tech support.

As long as they report the registration to ICANN, it doen't matter.

Nope, the ones that cost more most of the time are worse! godaddy.com sounds great.. go for it!
