Ask HN: Domain registrar recommendations

It doesn't really matter where to register your domain. What you want to consider could be your flexibility regarding their DNS system. The better the DNS system, the faster is the first page load of your website.

For example for STOMT (https://www.stomt.com), we have our domains registered at AWS, like our servers. But our nameservers are on DNSMadeEasy because they have a much faster DNS-system.

Let's have it clear, this is overengineering. We're totally down for speed and that way we saved people between 30-90ms. And this decision doesn't suit your criteria to save money.

I've been using name.com for years. They have a really good UI, good e-mail communication and support automatic renewal.

For .com I would suggest OVH.com, they give free WHOIS privacy, also they provide free basic hosting for registered domains.
