Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

In my opinion it really comes down to support, price (first year and renewal) and ethics.
For the ethics piece, if you think Google is an evil company then avoid Google Domains, as an example.
while I appreciate everyone naming their favorite companies, this is the only real answer to the question. It doesn't matter at all which registrar you use, it's about brand recognition, support, add-on services, and cost.
[source: friend founded his own (now defunct) registrar and I would help out. Even when a registrar goes out of business there's no real risk, as there are plans in place to hand off customers to other sites]
