I'm moving a few of my domains around and want to consolidate into one registrar - there's so many these days I'm not entirely sure who's trustworthy. I certainly don't want to go with MelbourneIT after the recent debacle posted on /. - but I also need a registrar who can handle .com.au domains in addition to allowing free transfer of existing domains and cheap renewals...
I use http://www.1and1.com/, but that's just because I have a hosting account with them. And it was only $6.00 US for a .net, .com, .org (I have heard only one complaint among many reviews. In my opinion 1and1 is a great company. $6!)
For cheap registration, I've heard godaddy (http://www.godaddy.com/ ) has no problems ($7 US?), EasyDNS ( http://www.easydns.com/ ) isn't bad, and I've also heard doteasy ( http://www.doteasy.com/ ) works.

I currently registered a couple of names under godaddy.com. No problems yet. It is cheap ($9) and you get free services that register.com charges you for, such as domain name forwarding.
Godaddy also allows paypal payments which is quite convenient.

I like godaddy, although I've never used them. Someone registered 10 domains with my credit card, and they were suspicious and called me, so getting it fixed was very easy.
It was strange, because they had my school number which I'd never given out with my credit card number.
I use the pay doteasy service. They don't allow telnet access to the server, so I don't think I'd select them for hosting again.

I've used gandi.net in the past, I have no idea why. I don't recommend it. I use godaddy now, and I love it. Not the best web interface, but the service is fine. We recently switched the IP address of our server, and it took about 5 minutes for the DNS change to propagate to our local ISPs. Cool stuff.

I think you mean SSH, dag, because allowing telnet access to the server is reason enough to ditch in my book.
