Google Domains, Namecheap, and Porkbun respectively.
I haven't heard anything bad about NameSilo. They seem fine for me. Been using them for a long time.
Namecheap I used to get away from 1&1. Now that's a crappy registry and host if anyone remembers the pages of ads in PC World.
Namesilo
Wanna move to Cloudflare few month ago, but cancel it after know their DNS NS policy
best domain registrar in terms of what? - pricing, features, support or free-speech / DMCA friendly? - the names can fluctuate accordingly.
But I would keep good domains at namecheap, namesilo, mr.domain.
for cheaper .com I will got with cosmotown
for free-speech/dmca-friendly I will go with shinjiru, nicenic, the-online.com, todaynic, ourdomains.com, nameisp
for Notorious I will go with Njalla.
And avoid following at all costs: godaddy, network solutions, epik, znet live, bigrock, connectreseller/ownregistrar,
For best experince i would like to go with namesilo, then namecheap.
For usual cheap domains, sav and porkbun
Namecrane by @Francisco
How many domains you got there?

Exactly 0. He's just poking fun, as he should.
It's still 'to be released', just a time/man power thing at the moment.

Cosmotown is the cheapest and most secure. Nothing will work without contacting support. /s
Njalla: Tucows reseller and overpriced whois-privacy. If someone files a big complaint, they drop u instantly. Idk how they're a good registrar.
Njal.la doesn't use tucows for all domains, they also use Sarek.fi
Which domains they use, I don't know but they use that.
Transfer .se to Inleed. Free (does not renew).
Not yet. Still waiting for this infamous Loopia request for the ID. I feel left out.
Loopia is decent actually, it’s just their client area is extremely ugly & their prices are among the highest.
One thing I love about them is that they’ve integrated BankID (the digital verification system in Sweden) and allow you to fully disable any login attempts not using BankID.
Really nice.
Been using Namecheap since 2009 and never had an issue. Support has been there 24/7. Easy to push domains to other NC users. Can't really say anything bad about them.
Recently been moving a few domains to Cloudflare but meh. Seems overrated. They don't support that many tld's, settings are very limited, can't change NS. I'll probably pay $1 - $2 more and use NC or Porkbun.
I mean it’s not that limited, just the NS part.
Their DNS service is one of the best there is.
Namecheap is my go-to
I use Dynadot & Google domains
For privacy or domains I dont wanna risk with normal registrars I like Njalla for everything else I'm currently using a mix between Name.com, NameSilo, and Porkbun.
I liked Name.com a lot more before they got bought by Donuts since they removed most of my account level pricing I got over the last 15 years so Im slowly moving my domains away.
When I had a lot more domains in years past (around 300~) I was with Internet.bs but their pricing used to be based off of how many domains are in your account (Maybe its still this way?). When I no longer had all the domains I stopped using them since I didnt quality for their cheaper rates.
While I tried porkbun in the past they suspended one of my domains due to a false positive google safesearch warning so I stopped and transfered my domains away, I heard they stopped so I transfered some back, now I hear they are doing this again (From reading the topic here on LET) I might be moving my domains away again.
Cloudflare I like but dont use since I don't always want to be forced to use cloudflare.
Lastly I got a .al domain and use cloudyhost.
Of course if you’re violating ToS you would get dropped (assuming you’re doing things against ToS)
The only time I’ve had a domain get suspended at njalla was at the ccTLD level, which they had no control over (would’ve happened at any registrar, owner of the ccTLD themselves pulled the plug and didn’t even tell njalla)
Njalla is good because they don’t ask for your name, address number etc. Only registrar I know that does such a thing. All you need is an email and password, put some money on your account via crypto and you’re golden to register whatever you want. I don’t mind paying the extra for the ease of not putting fake information in, and risking getting suspended for putting a fake name // address (happened on Porkbun)
You can see a list of domains they use sarek.fi with here: https://sarek.fi/price/
I use Godaddy, Epik, 2 more in America, and 1 in Africa. For hosting, I use 3 different companies. I'm happy with all of them!
sav.com, netim, porkbun
Porkbun
Buy the domain from Porkbun/Gandi and use Cloudflare NS.
I am managing almost all my DNS records in cloudflare. Their DNS records interface is easy to use, they have an API supported by certbot for wild card certificates from letsencrypt, have almost instantaneous propagation of updated dns records. So it seemed like a no brainer to use them as a domain registrar and I ended up transferring some of my domains there. But then recently saw someone posting here or on some other forum, of not being able to access their domains after their cloudflare account was suspended over some DMCA related complaint or some other complaint, against a site they were reverse proxying over cloudflare. Since I have got some sites reverse proxied over cloudflare as well, that has spooked me. So I am going back to using namecheap, porkbun, google domains, godaddy as registrars with just the nameservers pointing to cloudflare for managing dns records.
I did some calculation and this is how many times people said a good word about and/or are using service. I didn't check calculations and left OP out.

only two mentions of godaddy? I thought they are good? aren't they?
I prefer Namecheap by the way.
Gandi, EasyDNS for serious domains.
Cloudflare is a no-no, Porkbun based in their statements in the forum. I never will go with them, but is that me.
GoDaddy has been trouble every time I have had to deal with them. I have never used them myself, but have helped others. Do yourself a favor and avoid GoDaddy.
