| CloudFlare since they sell domains at cost and have really good DNS infrastructure with some free protection features. If the TLD isn't supported by them for registration then I'd just use their nameservers. Or Route53 if you're using AWS since that makes it easier to integrate with the rest of AWS and manage in IaC, and AWS also has robust network/DNS infrastructure. (I would say GCP if using GCP/Google Workspace, too, but since they split domains off to Squarespace I really don't know what is happening over there anymore as far as domains go.) So far those 3 have been more than sufficient for all of my domain needs. |

| ▲ | arcfour 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I haven't had that experience at all with them before. I also don't put much stock in one off experiences from someone who is admittedly not in a situation that almost anyone else, much less someone registering their domains through GoDaddy currently, would find themselves in (i.e. operating an online casino and engaging in behavior that is very obviously a legal/ToS gray area at best). | |

| If it is extremely critical, MarkMonitor. Otherwise, Porkbun or Cloudflare Domains if you're ok using their DNS. |

| ▲ | rrr_oh_man 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | What's good about MarkMonitor? All I see is Gartner-friendly buzzwords and AI generated "business people". | | |
| ▲ | Doohickey-d 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They specialize in domains management for businesses who consider their domain to be _very_ important. Think Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Wikipedia... (all of those are listed as clients on the wiki page) As in "pay a lot of money", and we'll dedicate someone to your domain who makes sure that "giving a domain to a stranger without any documents" will _never_ happen. | | |
| ▲ | walrus01 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | a number of the largest companies that used to be 'clients' of markmonitor have now basically become their own domain registrars and have a direct relationship with ICANN. Amazon for instance. It's curious that google was one and has offloaded it to squarespace. | | |
| ▲ | whh 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | This is the best approach IMHO if you're a large, extremely valuable company registering a lot of domains. |

| I suspect you mean register/renew: Depends. If it's something really high priority (like main domain for a large corporation) I'd likely be paying CSC 4 digit sums per domain per year. For stuff a tier below that I'd be looking at companies that are serious about security and happen to do domains as well e.g. Cloudflare, Amazon |

| Literally anywhere else, GoDaddy is utter trash and has been for many years. Namecheap is the one I use personally. |

| Porkbum or Gandi or name.com |
