#4I use Namecheap for names and the Linode nameservers for DNS. I have a few nanodes (Linode's lowest VPS tier), so it makes sense to use their servers.

#7Purchase on Namecheap and then transfer over to Cloudflare. Hoping Cloudflare allows domain purchases this year - having domains be fully bought, transferred, and renewed via an API would be great.
