I quite like Hover. I moved from Namecheap awhile back because of the old Namecheap UI. Only found out later that Hover is owned by Tucows, who also owns Ting, which coincidentally is my data provider of choice, and whom I also love.

I was a fan, until they used their "Hover is a reseller" (the parent company, Tucows is the registrar) excuse to get out of supporting DNSSEC, as required for all registrars.

They then "gave in" and said "OK, we can do this manually, on request, for $500 per-request".

Never again.

Namesilo is the best imho -- 8.90 for .com's a great API if you're wanting to resell, they have tons of gTLDs as well, and some of the best prices. The biggest benefit though is FREE domain privacy (usually an extra $10-14/year). Also 2 factor auth, and other features... I can't say enough good things about them.

Agreed. Nowadays I have most of my domains @ Namesilo and Porkbun.
