Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.

I have been using cloudflare. It works nicely, and integrates well with their tools.

I moved all of my data from google domains to it.

I have also previously used amazon, which wasn't horrible.... and previously used quite a few other registrators.

The only BAD one I have used, was godaddy. Don't use them. They.... are evil.

What problems did you have with GoDaddy? Just wondering what to watch out for, or if there's a reason to move.

I emailed their support to complain that their transfer out ui was broken so I couldn't get the transfer code, they sent me the code without me proving who I was. I was communicating with them using a different email and even different email domain than anything they had on file.
