There's quite a few out there, but some are definitely better than others depending on what you're looking for—whether it's pricing, support, or additional features like domain privacy.

Here's where I usually purchase my domains:

Namecheap: This is probably my go-to for most .com domains. They offer really competitive pricing and the best part is that they include WhoisGuard privacy protection for free, which keeps your personal information hidden from the public Whois database. Their user interface is clean and easy to navigate, and they've got solid customer support if you ever run into any issues. Plus, they often run promotions, so you can grab domains at discounted prices.

GoDaddy: This is one of the biggest names in the industry. They usually have a lot of marketing and might seem a bit more expensive, but they offer a huge range of services beyond just domain registration, like web hosting, website builders, and professional email. One thing to watch out for though is their renewal prices—they can be higher than the initial registration cost, so keep an eye on that.

Google Domains: Surprisingly, Google has a pretty good domain registration service. The pricing is straightforward, with no hidden fees, and they offer free privacy protection as well. The integration with other Google services can be really convenient if you're already using their products.

Dynadot: This is another one that's worth checking out. They have a wide range of TLDs (Top-Level Domains) and their prices are usually quite reasonable. Their interface might be a bit less polished than some of the bigger players, but it's functional and gets the job done. They also have an auction and marketplace if you're looking to buy or sell premium domains.

Hover: Hover is known for simplicity and straightforward pricing. They don't try to upsell you on a bunch of extras you don't need, and they also include Whois privacy protection with your domain. The interface is super user-friendly, and their customer support is very helpful.

A few tips when choosing a domain registrar:

Pricing: Look out for the renewal costs. Some registrars offer cheap first-year prices but then charge much more when it's time to renew.
Customer Support: Make sure the registrar offers good customer support. This is critical if you ever run into issues or need help with transfers, DNS settings, or anything else.
User Interface: Choose a registrar with a clean, easy-to-use interface. You don't want to be struggling with managing your domains because the interface is confusing.
Extra Features: Consider what extra features they offer, like email forwarding, DNS management, or website builders.
So, in short, Namecheap is usually my first choice for .com domains, but the others I mentioned are all solid options depending on your specific needs. Whichever you choose, just make sure to read the fine print, especially when it comes to renewal rates and any additional services they might try to upsell you on.
