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.<p>Looking for recommendations of modern domain hosts that provide a good user experience and competitive pricing.<p>Don't need hosting, just domains.
I have been moving all my domains to <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar" rel="nofollow">https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar</a><p>I think they charge you their cost for domains hoping you'll pay for their other services later.<p>Overall it's been a good experience. Sometimes you have to use CloudFlare rules instead of simpler settings at other registrars.
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 <a href="https://domains.google/" rel="nofollow">https://domains.google/</a> 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.<p><a href="http://www.panix.com/web/" rel="nofollow">http://www.panix.com/web/</a><p>They are actual unix sysadmins and very easy to deal with.
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.
