Namecheap have served me well, for both personal and work.
Their price seems cheap, but they slowly hike up the price over time. Their API is so bad that it’s a classic example of what a company doesn’t reinvent themselves and sit on their reputation and status quo.
Thankfully I don’t deal with enough domains to need to wrangle them with an API.
Appreciate the warning for if I ever I do though - what’s so bad about it?
I’ve been using porkbun for a few years now and it’s been cheap, simple, and easy to use.
And now they’re partnering with Proton!
I’ve been using Cloudflare for my sites. They offer at-cost domain registration, and I’ve been pretty happy.
There are no more free domains anymore?
There are, but the process may be truly arcane – 1993 for the .us process found in RFC 1480 – but people have done it: https://web.archive.org/web/20160316224838/https://owen.sj.ca.us/~rk/howto/articles/usdomain/usdomain.html

waffled between porkbun and spaceship before settling on the latter, but not sure if i made the right choice honestly lol
Porkbun and Cloudflare are the only one’s I use anymore. Great service and unbeatable prices for both.
I have a domain with Njalla.
I ended up with them because they seem to take privacy very seriously.my long time fav is https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/
cheap, easy, functional. run by a bunch of linux geeks with the idea you only pay for what you use.
This looks like they provide hosting services?
I believe a domain name provider are the folk that sell domain names.
they are both a registrar and host. i, for example host no sites with them. i only register domains here and use their dns.
Registrar. That’s the term. Thanks.
I’ll check out their pricing.
Do you know if they still have to share you details as who owns the domain? Not that I’m up to anything sinister, just will be for a home server but still nice for anonymity and places like names.co.uk charge more for hiding those details.
i picked them partially because they offer obfuscation services to hide your ownership from public registration information. it is an extra charge per domain.
