Anyone have any recommendations who to use? This would be for my personal use. DNS would be taken care of through DynDNS -- I signed up and donated $10 to them back when the founder(s) were running it from home and I have a full lifetime account that would cost $100's today.
And is the privacy protect worth it, should I just lie about the address and phone number and use a junk email for WHOIS, or is it not even really a concern?
Matt, you might want to check out 1&1.

Google. All day, every day. I don't and wont use anyone else.
When I used them it was $10 a year flat rate with free privacy protection and they automatically set up the domain for Google Apps. Registration piped through enom.
Can you use Google if you're not going to use Google Apps?Quote:

Yep! I think. I just search 'google domain registration'. I got this http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/domain.html
OK, that's the one I found too. Just wanted to make sure I was in the right spot.
Not sure if you already have a hosting plan or not, but I've been thrilled with A Small Orange.
I was going to do my domain through Google when I got one 6 months ago, but they didn't support .us domains back then. I went with GoDaddy for my domain. I did not seem to affected by the GoDaddy outage.
Google now offers registration via GoDaddy or enom. I prefer enom.
I got my domain registered through them this morning. Other than some glitch that kept DyDNS from updating their name servers with my hostnames when i delegated to them it was easy. I'm just using the domain so that I can expose a couple services from my network outside and make them work the same (same names and ports) inside and out. All for family use, nothing that will see much traffic.
