I use cloudflare since that’s where I run other stuff anyway (static site builds, edge functions, etc.)
Same here. Great prices and I like having it all in one spot.
Same here (love Pages and Workers). Just wish their support for top level country domains (particularly .be for me).

Namecheap, but all my domains use Cloudflare's nameservers
I use Internetbs.net, sometimes Name.com if they have a particular TLD way cheaper.
Porkbun
I would recommend Porkbun, been using it for almost 1.5 years after I had to migrate from Namecheap. Wouldn't really recommend the latter

Porkbun
Just switched to cloudflare after the seeing the announcement. It's actually cheaper too, for a .com its $12/year from Google and for cloudflare its only $9.15/year. Switching was painless, was already using cloudflare as the nameservers for the domain anyway.
Yeah, Cloudflare offers domain registration at cost, which is pretty hard to beat.
Thanks for the post! I didn't realize google was going out of the registrar business. I only have a couple domains with google (mostly stopped using all of google services so this was the final service I was using).
I really like cloudflare due to the at-cost renewal/registration so that'll be where I am moving them to
I'm using Porkbun and Cloudflare lately. No complaints.
I’ve been using squarespace for my domain and hosting because I got a special deal on it. I was planning on switching to Google but now I’m wondering if I should just keep it on squarespace

Consolidated all of my domains with NameSilo.com over 10 years with no regrets. Prices are very good with no additional fee for WHOIS privacy protection. I’ve tried multiple registrars, including GoDaddy back when they were good.
Disclosure: I work for a hosting company and we use eNom (as a reseller). I’d still pick NameSilo.com

I use Hover… it’s weird no one else does. Should I be moving off?
Never heard of them, but just looking at a registrar comparison chart, their renewal costs are pretty high. eg. $20 for .wiki renewal at Porkbun and $30 at Hover. Maybe they bundle in a lot of services along with it that make the price worth it? but unless you're taking full advantage of those (if they're offered) then you could def get a better deal elsewhere.
I use hover too, but reconsidering after this topic. Hover does provide anonymity, so I’m not sure if some of the other registrars listed do that too.

What did I miss regarding Google Domains?
EDIT: Just saw, squarespace buying it.. goddamn it...
I've never used square space, are they no bueno?

I liked namecheap but it did not support automated let's encrypt certificate renewal (I don't know if this has changed). Now I'm using Cloudflare and I have been liking it so far.
I'm struggling with this right now, certificate-manager has a plugin for namecheap, but it works only when i whitelist my extremely dynamic IP address...
is it possible to change registrars for already existing domains? I'm guessing i could forward to other service's nameservers or something? how did you move to cloudflare?
