What's the current best domain host?
I've got domains on 1and1, GoDaddy and NameCheap. I don't like any of them due to various reasons including clunky user experience, hidden fees, very slow or no support. I want to consolidate them all onto one host.
Looking for recommendations of modern domain hosts that provide a good user experience and competitive pricing.
Don't need hosting, just domains.
I registered my last domain with Porkbun based on HN recommendations. No complaints.
I think they charge you their cost for domains hoping you'll pay for their other services later.
Overall it's been a good experience. Sometimes you have to use CloudFlare rules instead of simpler settings at other registrars.
No problems with gandi.net so far. Very friendly customer service as well.
1and1 and Godaddy are absolute trash. But what's your issue with Namecheap ? They have solid support and yes domains are a bit pricey may be compared to another registrar but when I look at domain registrar, I care mostly about Support and reliability.
I've been using https://domains.google/ for years. $12/year/domain. Email forwarding is included. I don't even know if they charge extra for anything else.
I have been with network solutions for registration from the beginning and panix.com cheap-web for primary dns.

They are actual unix sysadmins and very easy to deal with.
Namecheap.com isn't bad...I think that $10 is kinda expensive for a domain though.
I use two companies: name.com and one local provider, mostly because the local provider has an offer and when you move a domain to them the renewal costs USD2.
I get my domains from Dreamhost. It works well for my needs - host with a few different places including Digital Ocean and GitHub pages fwiw
I've never had a problem with Hover
