I'm always amazed to find techie people that don't use something at least as good as https://dnsimple.com/.

I've been using them since 2011 and have not had a single issue.

In fact, they have just kept on progressively getting better!

Problem is companies change.

Godaddy was at one point ok to use.

Namecheap is popular but there are warnings about them now in this sub too…

You can make an informed and good choice, and years later you have a bad registrar.

GoDaddy has always been a bad choice — poor reliability, customer service, rarely even the cheapest. People used them because they advertised a lot — I’ve known multiple guys who literally said they based that decision on the hot women in their ads! – but they’ve also had a bad reputation in the serious tech community since the turn of the century.

I’ll also note that 100% of the clients I’ve inherited who used them had less than a single nine of uptime annually. Their shared hosting, file storage, etc. would just stop responding and nothing would appear to happen until someone called support.
