I wouldn't have cared much about Domain Name Register just a week ago, but after what happen at Zoho, and all the horror story in the comments section from namecheap and others, Cloudflare Registar couldn't come at a better time.

I really wish Cloudflare at least made $1 or $2 Gross Profits per domain. Who paids for Domain Register Support? I would much rather be a "customer" than I am not sure where they are making money from my Domain.

P.S - If those were wholesale price, do other companies get heavy discount for signing up in bulks? How do other companies made money when they are selling it for $0.99 or $6.99

I though namecheap was one of the better ones around? I'm looking for a domain registrar. Could share the link with namecheap horror stories? Thanks

Namecheap is crappy even in the day-to-day context. I had a domain that I had registered with them for about 3-4 years. Suddenly I started getting notices that I needed to verify my contact information, due to their policies about "new" domain registration. Every time they sent the reminder, the deadline moved back accordingly. Only it didn't - the domain was shut down on the first date.

Even transferring out was a hassle. I had privacy service, and namecheap sends the confirmation email to the proxy address, and not your actual contact address. They also spam filter the service so aggressively that you won't receive their transfer confirmations...sent FROM namecheap. Luckily, the transfer completed at the end of the window.

Their hosted email stinks, too. They spam filter it pretty hard and nothing you can do can effectively whitelist emails.

My impression is that they focus on not doing anything actively evil too often, and respond to just enough social media posts to give the impression they're responsive.
