>Gandi is French and has that European obsession with security and privacy, including your registration details and any email you host with them. Godaddy is cheaper to start, but over time the extras add up- e.g. private registration (recommended to avoid spammers) can cost as much as the domain itself. Though there are a lot more Godaddy coupons out there to reduce the cost. Just beware of initial cheap prices that lure you in for a year and then hit you with increases!

>The only other issue would be that part of Godaddy's system went down in ?2012, taking a lot of customer servers, email and websites offline for an extended period, including our US servers that we hosted ourselves. Apparently caused by internal DNS problems, A lot of people were left scrabbling around for alternative nameservers and registration providers. It has not happened since, but actually it never should have happened.

Thank you John,
