"Gandi is the world's best domain name registrar. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, uses Gandi to register the domain name for the World Wide Web Consortium, the standards body for the Web. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Free Software Foundation and Debian Project all use Gandi. Why do the "insiders" trust Gandi? Because Gandi has the best terms of service of any registrar in the world. All US-based domain registrars except one that I'm aware of reserve to themselves the right to terminate any customer's domain, at any time, for any reason or no reason at all. Or they can hijack your sub-domains and host advertising on them, or they will insert pop-under ads in your redirects. The largest competitors are the worst. Not only will nothing of this sort happen if you're a customer of Gandi, they put it in writing. Gandi's prices aren't always the best, but they usually are. They have extremely competent, courteous, honest customer service representatives and Gandi is more transparent in its operations than any other organization I've done business with. If your survival depends on a domain name to reflect your brand, you should register that domain with Gandi."
