I've been using Cloudflare Registrar[1] for a year now for all .com domains. No nonsense or extra fees. Gandhi[2] for exotic TLDs (best price). For EU domain TLDs I stick to Vimexx[3] (in Dutch). [1] https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar/ [2] https://www.gandi.net/ [2] https://vimexx.eu/

They don't support buying new domains right? You need to buy elsewhere and transfer to CloudFlare. Plus, their TLD coverage isn't great.

They actually do now. Not great TLD coverage is true though

Very happy with Namecheap [1]. I have 3 domains registered with them, one of them going back a long time. Never had problems with anything from search to payment. They have 2FA support that works with the open source TOTP apps too. [1]: https://www.namecheap.com

Namecheap is expensive when you go to renew. I switched all my domains to Porkbun - cheaper, and a cleaner/simpler UI.

Which TLD did they increase on renew?

Well, you basically started with the worst one, so things are looking up for you!

For my defense it was probably more than 20 years ago. Lazyness is always a good excuse.

It’s hard to convey over text, but I definitely intended to be lighthearted about it!

I know I was once a GoDaddy customer, too. For the time, they were fine.
