Any recommendations on a registrar?

namecheap has been good

I've been a happy customer since one of the go daddy migrations years ago but is it just me or has the app and mobile web interface gotten a lot worse recently? The place stays true to its name for the most part to me though. Gotten some good deals on some dumb domains.

Does name cheap have free email aliases, like Google Domains? That's one of the main features I use.

I also use the website forwarding (redirecting), but that's not as important for me.

Edit: it looks like both are supported by name cheap, so that's probably what I'll migrate to.

I like cloudflare. They dont do the renewal pricing bs a lot do.

I was scrolling through these comments to see if anyone said anything about Cloudflare. Glad to see there's a few positives already posted. Happy with them overall?

I've been relying more and more on cloudflare for their services but most of the free ones I'm using are starting to make me question their privacies and the potential for them to be a single point of failure.

Yes, I use them for my dns even for my google domain. The interface is good and they support dynamic ip addresses, too.
I'm sure like a lot of these giant enterprise providers, us little people don't really cost too much and we have the chance to recommend them at work.

I’ve been happy with Cloudflare’s registrar service, plus it keeps all my DNS stuff in one place.

I've been using porkbun for several years, no complaints.

Aws Route 53, but I got all my stuff in aws so I find it convenient.
