In the beginning, there was only one registrar for domain name registration. Internic, later renamed Network Solutions, registered .com, .net, and .org. Domain name prices, at first free, became pricey. Soon, other registrars joined them, however, and prices dropped. Services were all about the same so price was the prevailing factor in choosing where to register a domain name.
There are so many domain registrars now that price is no longer the only factor to consider. There have been many poorly-run companies that have vanished in a matter of months. Transferring domains from a defunct company is not easy. Many domain registrars offer extra services to compensate for their bigger domain name price. Cheaper domain name registrars may release expired domains much faster than registrars that charge more. Security is also a very important feature.
Here are a few guidelines for choosing a domain name registrar:
1) How long has the domain name registrar been in business? It’s usually best to run a Whois to see if there is information that can be ascertained. If the company doesn’t let its prospective customers run a Whois search, why don’t they?
2) What services do they offer for the price they charge? How long do they allow a domain to be expired before they drop it? How much is the free to re-register the domain if it does lapse? One registrar may charge $15 for a domain registration while allowing a domain to be registered at the same rate up to two months after the registration has lapsed. Another registrar may only charge $9 per year for a domain but eat the domain immediately upon lapse. Do they vigorously resell domains that have dropped from their registrar? That should be a red flag.
3) How much security do they offer? Do they watch over a domain the way the registrant would do?
4) How long is their own domain registered for? If it’s not registered for a long time, how long will they stay in business?
5) What is their reputation in the industry? It’s best to search domain buyer and webmaster forums. Even big names in the business can be nightmares.

Who do you pay for a domain name?
To 'buy' a domain directly, you pay a registration (or renewal fee if you already 'own' the domain) to a Domain Name Registrar, which is between $7.99 and $30 so shop around. Domain Name Registrars ultimately own all domain names and 'sell' them for use for a specific period of years. During the registration process, you choose a name and the registrar checks to see if it is available and hasn't already been purchased by someone else. If it is available, you are allowed to register the domain. IMPORTANT: If you are registering non-country-code domains (like .com, .org, .edu, .net, .biz etc), be sure the registrar is ICANN accredited. ICANN accredited registrars are the only official, authorized means of obtaining your own domain. Many web hosting providers are also domain name registrars. Check ICANN's website for a list of accredited registrars by Top Level domain (http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/accredited-list.html). Country Code domains are handled by the appropriate regional registrar. Do your research before registering these domains (.us, .uk, .ca to avoid getting ripped off. Key point here, is that once you've 'bought' the domain name from a registrar, it's yours, unlike the next option. If, during the registration process, the registrar indicates that the domain is already registered by a domain name reseller, it will display a list of domain name resellers. These 'resellers' are individuals and organizations that bought up a lot of popular, easy-to-remember domain names from the registrars to speculate on their worth just like real-estate investors do. Unlike real-estate speculation, domain names become part of an identity of a business or person, so its more like someone forcing you to pay for your own name. If you have been trading as a business or entity since before the domain was registered by the reseller and especially if can prove it was registered to extort money from you, you can contact the registrar and ask them to revoke the reseller's registration and award the name directly to you.
