Is there an official or preferred way to disable the registration for new users?

Answer

On possible way, may be wrong:

• move twiki/bin/register file to somewhere nobody can access

Don't forget to edit TWiki.TWikiRegistration as well.

You do not need to move register, if you are using Basic Authentication what you can do is edit the /twiki/bin/.htaccess file and change

<FilesMatch "configure.*">
    require user "BigbadAdministrator"
</FilesMatch>

to

<FilesMatch "(register|configure).*">
    require user "BigbadAdministrator"
</FilesMatch>

that way administrators are able to still use the form to register for other users while keeping the file locations intact.
