It seems like there are a couple of real domainers who hang out here, among other very well experienced and qualified people who does business online. Any tips for where to register new domains at the best prices? It also needs to come with free private registration (hidden whois records). Minimum registration could be 5-10, it really doesn't matter as I'm having around 50-60 new names on my list to register. A bulk registration tool would be appreciated, but not necessary.

And please, no suggestions for another one of those "Godaddy-in-disguise" reseller sites. I operate at least one myself, for client purposes.

Best prices I've managed to find myself so far is a tie between
netfirms * com, @ $6.99 per year and free protected whois records
and
1and1 * com, also @ $6.99 per year and free protected whois records.

There's no minimum number of domains required at these two registrars, you get the free whois record from a single domain purchase, most registrars will give it to you for free at a minimum purchase of 5 domains or more.

So, back to my original question, any tips for how or where to find even lower prices?

For those who prefer to register with Godaddy, try to search for "godaddy" at Google, you will usually be displayed the Godaddy Adsense ad, which will advertise .com domains at $6.99 plus ICANN fee of $.20, = $7.19. Click the ad, and you are taken to Godaddy.com and are able to purchase or renew your domains at Godaddy for $7.19. I know a lot of people have bad experiences with Godaddy, but that is not a topic for this thread, there are entire forums (Nodad**) dedicated to horror stories.

Thanks!
