Comment on Least terrible domain registrars

In case anyone was wondering:
namecheap: US porkbun: US INWX: Germany OVH: French onlydomains: NZ
I personally have been with onlydomains for a decade or so. No complaints.

I’ve domains from both DomainMonger and NameCheap. If it were trivial, I’d probably move my domains to NameCheap. The web UX is a little better; aside from that, I’ve never had issues with either, not heard anything particularly bad about either.
But, yeah: +1 on the NameCheap suggestion.

Does UX really matter?
I’d rather decouple DNS and domain.
Feels like (no proof, just gut feeling) services like Cloudflare have better security and integration than the respective registrars.

What do you mean, decouple DNS and domain? The registrar is the authoritative source for DNS - how do you bypass that?

While yes, that’s true, you can point the domain to have 3rd party DNS servers.
For example Cloudflare.
You could register VMs with them or with another registrar. Same with DNS. Do it with your choice of registrar or use whatever else you maybe actually want.
