If you can find it for $15.18 without having to buy other services, that's a deal and you should take it. Most discounts like that are offered as loss leaders in the hopes that you'll buy other add-ons.

For a customer it's irrelevant that the discount is a loss leader. The end result is that I can renew a .space domain for half the price at Namecheap, without having to buy other services.

... which is why sam told you to take that deal as it makes sense to take it.

Can anyone tell if they offer privacy? I'll move all of my parked domains here in a heartbeat if that's included.

(I'd move my other domains here if I could use non-Cloudflare nameservers, even temporarily. I don't want downtime or other interruption.)

We do - all whois information is redacted by default for every domain on Cloudflare Registrar.

Does Cloudflare Registrar support U2F authentication yet? I don't trust any service with mission-critical stuff that doesn't have U2F. Domains are way too valuable to keep them in registrars without U2F.

I have domains on namecheap and would like to transfer to CF. Does the transfer process involve disabling whois, temporarily exposing my personal details to the internet?

Some registrars will block transfers if certain types of privacy protections are enabled (or they'll require you expose your data to the public in order to give you your auth code).

Namecheap can block transfers with WHOIS Guard enabled in some cases; as soon as it is transferred to Cloudflare, though, the info will be redacted.

Been looking to transfer my domains away from Godaddy but can't find a registrar I like that accepts .ws, which is my main domain. Cloudflare doesn't either :\

Please contact the registrar you would like to transfer to for instructions on how to proceed.

Unfortunately nobody actually supports it. Dreamhost doesn't, Namecheap doesn't, etc. If you try, they all give you the same "The WS registry doesn't allow transfer of domains." error, because historically they have not.

Uniregistry does ... https://uniregistry.com/pricing

I personally would never trust anyone else.

.uk domains still not supported either

I can't see Nominet letting it happen.

Why in particular? Plenty of other registrars offer .uk or the public suffixes under it like .co.uk and .org.uk

The Nominet requirements do cause these to break mysteriously much more often than some generic TLD spun up yesterday by people convinced this is a gold rush (e.g. my registrar offered me a great renewal deal for a .co.uk I control, I pressed "Yes please" and then their system believed I had taken the deal but didn't renew the domain, after a few days they confirmed that the deal makes no sense for .co.uk and refunded the money, they had forgotten to blacklist Nominet when adding their deal feature), but it works well enough most of the time.

Just curious, what are the domain registrars currently support U2F?

Also, just to be sure U2F is an additional methods of 2FA, not the only method of 2-step, so to me having U2F is not necessarily making accessing your account securer.
