I wanted to clarify that all of the above registrars I mentioned are ICANN accredited, which is important. 

I also want to point out that you should not look at just initial prices.  Look at the renewal price, too.  For instance, a .CC domain from namecheap right now is only $5.99, but their renewal rate is higher than Namsilo.  So to maximize your savings, you could buy it from Namecheap now, then before it expires next year, transfer it over to NameSilo.

For anyone looking into Namesilo, the coupon code TRYNS1OFF will get you a dollar of you order.  That's supposedly good until 2021 and should work on even domains that are discounted.  This is only good for new accounts, one time.  NameSilo does not generally have coupons for existing customers due to their prices being so low.  Right now, .COMs are only $6.99 for the first year so with that coupon it should be $5.99. Not too shabby.

Godaddy has .com for $2.99 for the first year, but I believe the catch is you have to register it for 2 years.  The second year is $17.99  OUCH!  And you have to pay extra for things like Whois privacy.

Point is, shop around and make sure you look at the renewal rates.
