Alternatives to GoDaddy?

I’m looking to replace GoDaddy as my primary registrar. I originally used them because they were cheap and well known; but I’ve always hated their interface, and I really dislike the offensive turn their marketing has taken. Let’s face it, GoDaddy sucks, and they don’t deserve my money.

Anyway, what recommendations do you have for a domain registrar that is affordable, no-nonsense, and easy to work with?

Thanks,
Jordy

Coupon Codes Can Kill Conversion

Speaking of coupons, I once read a Marketing Sherpa case study demonstrating that the inclusion of a “coupon code” field in your checkout process actually hurts conversion pretty significantly.  If you think about it, calling out out the fact that a little research could save your customer money entices them to leave your site in search of the deal.  Inevitably, some don’t come back to hit submit; and if they do come back, many do so with a coupon nailed right to your top line.  Again, these are people that were about to purchase anyway –it’s like you want them to be jerks.  :)  But seriously, I’m amazed every time I see coupon codes featured heavily on GoDaddy and other big sites that should know better.
