Please Help - Registering a Domain Name

I need to register a domain name - any where at any usual price is fine.

Can anyone recommend a service to use for this?

I am guessing in about 1 month I will want to move that domain name to a new service / registrar - to where it will be free of charge (bundled with other services).

For now I just need to get a domain name registered.

Thank you for your help!

I suppose I should ask why you don't just wait for a month?

In any case, I use godaddy, and I've had no complaints. But domain name registration is a competitive market and it's pretty trouble-free whomever you choose to use. The only thing I've learned is that it's generally easier to go with a dedicated registrar like godaddy, rather than trough hosting packaged deals (often, they'll throw in a free domain name when you sign up for a year or whatever).

The reason for that is that you end up switching hosters more often than you do, names, usually. So it's nice to have an independent registrar.

My need for registering now is an attempt to prevent someone else from registering the site name first.

I did not know that - makes sense. Thanks!
