I have recently been working on improving my overall website setup and would like to have a setup which i not have to worry about changing or updating anytime soon.
My current domain registrar is SiteGround and website host is Rocket.net
Does domain registrar play a role in the overall speed of your website? How would you objectively decide on a “good registrar”? What is your domain registrar and how why did you chose?
Some of the factors i can think of in helping the decision could include:
-
Reliable
-
Customer support
-
Not a reseller
-
Domain registration is their core or a vital part of their business model
-
Easy to transfer
-
Is the company going to be around in the next 5-10 years
-
Speed (if it plays a role)
Based on the initial research that I have done, i am leaning towards IONOS or Cloudflare. Maybe Cloudflare. And one of the reasons is that Microsoft lists both of them in their list of recommended domain registrars.

+1 for IONOS (was 1&1). Been with them since… ~1999. Never been forced off my package as the options evolve. I have upgraded/moved package a few times and never had any issues.
For my new business I'm looking for the best domain registrar.
Requirements :
-
A domain name
-
Two Email ID
Many people suggesting Cloudflare for very nominal fees. But they don't have email service.
Considering the Price, Customer support, which is best domain registrar?
I have not yet tested many registrars, but from what I've heard those are good:
gandi.net joker.com godaddy.com (seen a lot of bad reviews too), registrar.amazon.com, Googledomains.com (now Squarespacedomains), gkg.net Misk.com ait.com dynadot.com
MarkMonitor.com ComLaude.com (Corporate Domain Name registrars)
What I've used:
Cloudflare, NameCheap, NameSilo, SpaceShip
I liked NameCheap and Cloudflare but the thing that annoys me about Cloudflare is that I can't change nameservers with them.
NameSilo is good but I can't set up domain defender due to me having signed up with my google which sucks.
I personally don't like SpaceShip's UI but they are cheap asf.
I am unsure what I should choose there are so many good domain name registrars, and TrustPilot reviews aren't that helpful.
EDIT: I fixed a sentence due to it being confused but what I meant Cloudflare Name servers aren't changeable.
