Ask HN: Which domain name registrar do you use?

is it still a smart move to choose cloudfare considering the recent accidents? the prices are low and you have the guarantee they will not disappear in 10 years or sold to an ad agency (see Gandi).

P.S. i'm interested in users with their own website for personal use

    I've used a bunch, but Namecheap is the easy go-to for me today. Their support is extremely good. In over ten years, we've never had an issue that we couldn't solve over chat in 15 minutes.

      i see they provide WHOIS privacy for free, great! i'm worried about exposing my personal information on the internet.

      do people really put their personal address there?

    I use cloudflare and it's great. It feels like the only registrar that has a business case for at cost domains. Also if you're worried about cloudflare downtime, you can only use them for dns resolution (which hasn't been impacted) and not for proxying.
