I actually use namecheap. It's only a few bucks first year, but .world domains cost $31.98 per year after that. So not $35 like I remembered, but pretty close. Or maybe that is the price with tax.

However, if I wanted a .nl domain, it's only $7.98 per year. Looking at other domains, it's crazy, but .inc is $2198 per year.

Gotcha. I'm actually in the process of moving away from Namecheap because of an experience I just had with them. I tried to register a domain about a month ago (the domain my Lemmy instance is on) and it stopped the registration process immediately after I hit the Pay/Checkout/whatever button and told me to contact their support team to register it.

The error message said it was because the domain name was too similar to something that already existed, and that the support team would have to decide whether I'd be allowed to register it or not. So I went to another registrar and registered it with no issue. I really didn't like that, and it's enough to make them lose me as a decade+ long customer. I already use Route53 for DNS for all my domains, so it's not like I was using them for anything else other than a registrar, so untangling that shouldn't be too much of a pain.
