I have copied in the group, since I would like this recommendation to go
to everybody. If anybody objects, please chew my ass and not Larry's.
Larry, NetSol are total bastards. At least twice a year they do their
best to defraud me into paying their inflated registration prices by
sending me official-looking invoices in the US Mail for domains I own
that ARE NOT (and never were) registered through them. I wouldn't give
those f*ckwit creeps a penny.
My advice? Move all your domains to GoDaddy and use them for all future
registrations.
GoDaddy is owned by Ron Parsons, a great guy I've been dealing with for
over ten years, the inventor of the old DOS-based "Robomail" program.
I'm VERY pleased by his service and willingness to quickly respond to
all concerns. It's my personal opinion that GoDaddy is far and away the
best registration service on the planet, as well as one of the least
expensive.

For hosting, with full mail service and administration, I recommend my
very good personal friend, Mike Lasota, at gigaTREX. If you contact me
about it, I can probably get you a discount.

Let me know if I can help in any way.
