I usually use register.com to determine the whois information for a particular domain (yes, I like to know who’s actually behind the writing) because it’s the easiest thing for me to remember. I prefer whois services that give me the information in text (as opposed to in an image, as register.com does), but since I’m not actually attempting to collect this information on an aggregate basis, it usually doesn’t matter unless I’m looking at an email address with 15 consonants strung together.
That’s why you might find me using register.com, though I’m hosted with StartLogic. I’d agree with Ev: register.com’s captchas are often difficult to decipher. I consider myself lucky I don’t have to rely on a screen reader, too.
