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

I'd say give namesilo.com a shot.

$8.99 .coms as a base price, free whois guard for life, solid support and no up-sell spam or BS.

I moved almost all of my domains there over the last year'ish.

Everything about Namesilo is perfect except their terrible website. That's a downside I can live with. I also highly recommend them.

I love Namesilo and have been using them for over a year with no hiccups.

However, they were acquired by a Canadian investment firm earlier this year [1]. Till now there's been no change and things are still running smoothly — I just hope that continues.

Thank you for the info. I did not know that.

Also, on closer inspection today, I realised that Namesilo does indeed increase renewal fee after the first year. The fee stays the same thereafter, and it's still the cheapest around, but it's worth keeping in mind.

I caught onto this when I realised their registration price is actually below the wholesale cost for .com domains, according to this Cloudflare blog post.

I might move my domains to Cloudflare when they make this available.
