I’m currently using namecheap to buy cheap domains, I know they are not necessarily cheap in long term, but first year + coupons make them almost free

But now I’ve got some domains I don’t want to just use one year, and it gives pretty much a lot of issues with pricing and privacy

So please, people, share services you use, and tell me whether they are private and/or cheap and/or have all those countless generic domains and not just .com .org .net

    Namecheap is a quality service for sure and I’ve used them myself, but they’re only cheap to buy. They really stick it to you when it’s time to renew.

        They aren’t. I have a handful of domains on Namecheap still due to the convenience of their api, and each one is between 15-25% more to renew than popular alternatives like Porkbun, Namesilo, or Cloudflare. Now for a single domain we’re talking a difference of $5-10 a year. So for a single domain, is that price difference a dealbreaker? Probably not. But the more domains you have the more it adds up.
