Where do you register your domain names?

Cloudflare and google domain
You mean Squarespace Domains
Yeah, that sucks, though I already pre paid for 10 years.

I have a few .ca domains I keep with a Canadian registrar (WHC formerly Sibername). For the rest of the TLD's I usually use Namecheap or InternetBS.
you may check tld-list.com for a broader comparison.
For most end customers this is probably true but once you get into reselling, api integrations, billing etc it's a completely different matter.
You can still transfer it out. If you transfer it out when there's 9 years or less left on the registration, the transfer will add a year to the expiration.
How is inleed, its website seems good?
Best of them all. I only use GleSYS because of more TLD’s where I work (they’re just a reseller + they’re expensive, but they got a lot of them) and Simply.com for their first-year deals (and migrate to Inleed).
Inleed is my favorite registrar of all time.
Not a big fan of their ’Basic’ web hosting though, it’s slow.
Dynadot, porkbun, namesilo and cloudflare.
What's special about Inleed as a registrar?
Their support. Best I’ve ever seen.
And for Swedes, autogiro!
What kind of support do you typically need from a registrar? And how frequently?
I personally (not our company) use Porkbun and Dynadot; both are great registrars from my experience. I'm not too happy about Porkbun adopting Coinbase Commerce, as it makes using self-custodial wallets a pain when paying with cryptocurrency. Dynadot recently adopted cryptocurrency payments, which is quite cool.
Not too often. Last time, I wanted them to renew my domain using the account credits I had even though they didn’t cover the whole renewal, and send me an invoice for the rest. They did this after office hours in a few minutes. This is standard for them. Anything more isn’t very common.
Well, for me at least.
namecheap and web.z.com
Planning on moving to cloudflare for some of my domains because of cheaper renewal.
Have you been able to manage DNS records/nameservers so that you can associate a given domain with a different VPS? When I buy a domain (not hosting + domain) from IncogNET, I have to activate free hosting, which is inherently tied to a DirectAdmin account installed on an assigned, shared server.
So far, I haven't had any luck getting the domain to point to somewhere other than that shared server, despite configuring and setting up nameservers and A records on another VPS in a manner that worked for a different domain registrar.
I like using Namecheap, they are simply agile and they always have several promotions
I use external DNS so I've set the nameservers on my domain(s) in Incognet to a different provider where I manage my A (and other) records. Hadn't had issues with it.
Maybe @MannDude can help you.
Thanks for the advice. I'll probably do the same.
Cloudflare
3v-Hosting - domain names in various (512) DNS zones
Spaceship since they are the cheapest for most tlds right now.
Other than that i also have domains on Namecheap/Porkbun/Namesilo/Sav
Cosmotown, Porkbun, Namecheap
Thanks to those of you who introduces Spaceship and tld-list.com for checking the domains. Just transferred my domain fromPorkbun to Spaceship last week, and the transfer is completed. The renewal price seems good on paper. Hope they stays that way.
You can renew for up to 10 years right now if you want to lock in the current renewal price.
Either AWS Route 53 or Namecheap, the latter have excellent support.
Hmm.. somewhat..
You want a registrar that screams best security practices, you don't want to find your domain stolen due to weak security practices, I certainly wouldn't use a domain registrar that returned something other than 404 on /cpanel, or their site was some hideous wordpress monster, or they didn't have dkim/dmarc/spf setup on their own support domain.
Sav, Spaceship, Porkbun.
Avoiding Namecheap, also known as NameShit, for their discriminative policies.
