Good idea, ecafe.
1. Moniker - Plus: Security; Minus: Price (don't see it on the site but I think it's around 18 for com)
2. GoDaddy - Plus: Price, service; Minus: Control, slow DNS server.
3. Fabulous - I like their control panel but never used them for registrar. Price also is very competitive at 6.75.
4. BR/enom - ???
i bought some domain from enom's reseller but the reseller put my domain in his portfolio. Finally i called enom customer serivece and got it back after a while.
i think enom's problem is the security between the reseller and the retail domain buyer. for example, godaddy's resellers are not allowed to control any domains bought under him (can control only his domains), only godaddy's customer service has full control of the domains, even though they have to spend more on customer service.
Enom give reseller the ability to control their retail customer's domains. When we call enom for help, they say to contact the reseller. Only when there is a big problem... like the reseller not responding or something, they try to fix it then. I don't know why enom is not controlling the customer service for the reseller.... I heard that Enom is purchasing domain companies and i wonder how they will end up controlling these compaines...
As for enom, if you want more security, then you need to buy from enom's website which is more than about 2 times the price. If you buy from enom's reseller, then you will have to contact the reseller... Godaddy controls all domains that are purchased through their reseller...:crutch:

Are there any benefits to spliting your portfolio between registrars?
