Which domain name registrar do you use?
is it still a smart move to choose cloudfare considering the recent accidents? the prices are low and you have the guarantee they will not disappear in 10 years or sold to an ad agency (see Gandi).
P.S. i'm interested in users with their own website for personal use
I've used a bunch, but Namecheap is the easy go-to for me today. Their support is extremely good. In over ten years, we've never had an issue that we couldn't solve over chat in 15 minutes.
I use cloudflare and it's great. It feels like the only registrar that has a business case for at cost domains. Also if you're worried about cloudflare downtime, you can only use them for dns resolution (which hasn't been impacted) and not for proxying.
Some of my domains were on eNom and they were decent despite a clunky old web interface, but then they moved those domains to a VM reseller without even telling me why. Some are on Porkbun and they are decent. I have some spread across many other registrars. They are all getting worse every 5 to 10 years.
I suspect they will soon all be gone, replaced by investment companies that retain next to zero technical people. The nutter in me suspects there may be some goal to move everyone to big centralized platforms like Cloudflare and Amazon and at some point non-business accounts may lose the ability to update root DNS glue records. I think the goal is to centralize all DNS management and visibility. No idea what the actual long term goal is.
Porkbun. Been using them for years and I'm fairly happy with them.
