I want to register 5 .com domain names. Tired of godaddy renewal fees.
Leaning towards namescheap. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

How many domains do you have? Godaddy has a domain club that trims about 40-50% off domains (depending on TLD.) https://www.godaddy.com/domains/discount-domains.aspx

$10/month

$14.99 .com goes down to $8.29, break even at 18 domains.

Domain club and Auctions are probably the best reason to remain at GoDaddy. Their interface is a hot mess, but all the options you want are there if you click around. I've also had much better luck with them whenever I need to update DNS or Nameservers. If you're on Google DNS I can usually propogate in minutes, not hours/days.

I absolutely would not trust 1&1. Namecheap seems fine.

namescheap seems cheaper than google and amazon.
is there any advantage to using google and amazon?

AWS does everything

[Edited on September 27, 2016 at 5:22 PM. Reason : look at EC2 or Elastic Beanstalk]

if your website is static (it probably is) just throw it in s3 for $0.60/month

http://www.namecheap.com or http://www.namesilo.com are the two I'd recommend for cheap/relatively hassle-free domain registration.

Haven't had any issues with Namecheap and it was the cheapest option I found that seemed reputable.
