Google has shut down their domain service and are selling off all of their assets to Squarespace. Google domains was awesome, especially for the price. Looks like I need a new place to stick spacerex.co and my other domains!
What registrar does everyone else use?
Not a “power user”, but I have no complaints with namecheap.
I used InMotion Hosting (inmotionhosting.com) and find them very reliable and great tech support 24/7 … phone and chat. Although my current website is very bare bones and neglected, I have had a more robust website with my previous business in the past. All websites were built with wordpress.org straight from the back end. InMotionHosting helped me originally when I transferred my domains over to their platform. They are worth considering reasonable priced and could be used for domain only.
Thanks for the info!
I really dont need too much, just good DNS
I also use Google Domains and am gonna give Square Space Domains a chance. I haven’t done much research to see what other good options are out there if Square Space isn’t all that stellar.
For me the thing that I am worried about with Square Space is that they are a hosting location, where they want you to host your website with them. Just a bit worried they are not going to be super friendly for people hosting their own records not associated with square space.
I may just jump straight to AWS
FWIW, I use Cloudflare. They had the lowest cost for a multi-year domain name.
Was thinking about cloudflare! My biggest question was if they had full API access and things like that

I haven’t had the need to play with the DNS API but there is one.
Cloudflare offers the lowest prices.
However, they force you to use their nameservers for domains registered with them.
I love and use Cloudflare, but don’t like that policy.
So, my N01 choice for years has been Porkbun.
Good prices (not as low as Cloudflare, but lower than Namecheap - which is also very good), good support (for the odd occasion one needs support from a domain registrar), and stable service (far from an untested fly-by-night provider).
All the pros and cons in detail regarding Porkbun (they did have some abuse-policy problems and that’s fair to note, even though I’ve never had any problems):
