Thanks. : )

When dealing with a lot of the bigger companies the big thing looking at the deals they have. Most of them are about the same to deal with and offer most of the same features. One thing you should think about is privacy options. The domain name is going to get registered to your name and contact information that you provide. This can be used by spammers or others to get info you may not want others to see. Some of the domain registrars offer privacy options where it gets registered through a proxy info sort of. Good feature to look into!

Now when purchasing a domain name there are a few things to think of on the marketing side of things. You will probably want something easy to remember or easy to guess depending on your target audience. Plus look at variations that my be close to yours that could give people the wrong idea if they go to one of these and think they are on your site. Also are you concerned if anyone registers the same domain as your but as a .org or .net or so on.
