So I have a letter in the in-box this morning from Network Solutions, letting me know that my domain name is expiring in a year. This seems like a good time to ask: what's the story with other domain name registries besides NS? I understand there are some, and that they are cheaper -- do they do the same thing? NS is charging $100 for a 5-year registration which seems a little steep -- seems like it was less than that last time I renewed. I'll pay it if switching is a big hassle; but I reckon it's probably not a hassle. If you have any experience with this please let me know.

I've been paying $8 a year on Name Cheap, but I think you can get cheaper if you poke around.

Thanks! I looked at Wikipædia and it sounds like there's a pretty straightforward procedure in place for transferring a name between registrars. So I'll probably do it.
