Is it one that you just use and works just fine? Or one that has proven to be reliable and responsible if they do a mistake and only want to satisfy you as a customer?
AWS Route53. Lets me keep all my domains in one place. If Cloudflare did .au I’d switch to that.
I purchase from the cheapest and use he.net for my nameservers.
I was wondering if somebody was going to mention the he nameservers :). I couldn’t figure out how to get them working, but it seems like a good option! I want to figure out if I can use them as backup nameservers in addition to my own at some point…
No all domain provider will allow you to change the nameservers of a domain they sold to you as they want to sell you the rest of what you need for extra $$$
You can only have 2 name servers on a domain and it is not advisable to make them point to different DNS providers as they will both need to be authoritative and by having 2 different providers will mean you get 2 different SOA which will break fundamental DNS.
to change the nameservers will either be simple or hard, depending on the domain name provider it might take 24 hours for them to change the name servers or they may allow you to change them via web UI which could be just a 2 hour wait.
I’m new to this entire field, and only recently set up my NAS with DDNS and everything to get around my CGNAT. I decided to go with Cloudflare since it was a name I knew well, and reviews were good. It did feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it was pretty easy to figure out what I needed to do and what I didn’t, and I am pretty happy with it.
What all did you have to do in addition to DDNS to get around CGNAT? Are you using something like this? github.com/mochman/Bypass_CGNAT
I installed the cloudflared docker container and set up the Cloudflare Zero Access Tunnel thing.
I can’t stream my plex media through it due to TOS, but with access control and the 1.1.1.1 DNS and everything, it has been great.
I’ve been using namesilo for years without issue
Joker.com. I’ve been a happy customer for years and years.
Feature rich and never had an issue with them. Prices are fine imho.
It was Badger while it existed, because I was one of the first engineers working there (until it died a few years later wee)
Nowadays it’s just Cloudflare for convenience, they’re all kinda the same, but never Godaddy.
Doteasy Web Hosting
I have only just recently started domain shopping. Before that I just used the registrar from my web hosting. I settled on trying NameCheap, although their records UI is a bit confusing sometimes.

1984.hosting, because it’s the only one I know that does not require you to run any propietary software.

a domain name and vps are two different things?

They have domains too, but very little choice. Still looking for proper domain registar in this style.
