NameSilo.com is quite a bit less expensive.

#92hover.com, super simple and easy to use.
But a lot more expensive than NameSilo.com, which I find simple and easy-to-use.

#93> I am simply tired of $5.99 domain register fee that turns $59.99 a year later Unfortunately this seems pretty common with a lot of new gTLDs.
At NameSilo.com, registrations, renewals, and transfers are all the same low price.

Hmmm, was the service updated? I couldn't get my emails obfuscated on .com and .io addresses about 2~3 years ago. Just managed to get it done.
It's probably due to the GDPR. My understanding is that a lot of registrars are removing all personal information from WHOIS due to GDPR concerns.
What's GDPR?

#96What's the cheapest domains to buy and hold? I'm not into investing just building crazy stuff and putting it out there for giggles. So I'm open to any domain that's wins out as the cheapest.

Hover (owned by Tucows) lost me as a customer when they refused to support DNSEC (Registrars are required to support it), using "But Hover just resells Tucows, we aren't a registrar" line, and then when pushed, offered it as a $500-per-change option.

#98I'm pretty happy with NameSilo.
My only "gripe" is they have a smaller range of ccTLD's, and they don't (currently) offer .au domains, which is likely what I'll need next.

There's a fee of $0.50 per hosted zone and month for Route 53, in addition to the $0.40 per million queries. This is optional if you don't want to use Route 53 for DNS, so you can still use a free option like Cloudflare instead.
Most registrars would reach out & ask you to pay for premium DNS after some sort of soft limit anyways. Companies like Google pay thousands for their DNS. Free DNS is a form of over-selling. Cloudflare also has a history of shutting of people's service after they hit some soft limit, and asking you to upgrade to paid.
I've had that talk with cloud flare. They didn't come over very aggressive and confirmed that I wouldnt have a issue when I stay on free.
