Cloudflare if you want one of the handful of TLDs they support, namecheap otherwise. For namecheap I still point the nameservers at Cloudflare so they can manage the site. For DDNS I use DDclient, it works, that’s about all I can or should say about a DDNS client.

Cloudflare for both honestly.

I just set up a wildcard subdomain record and with a few lines in docker-compose Traefik sets up a new subdomain in seconds, certs and all.

They charge the minimum renew amount for domains, plus you can use several different tools like cf-ddns, cfddns, or cloudflare-ddns

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Just go Cloudflare. The dot.win told they have is incredible value ~3$ per annum if i remember correctly.

Other pros of using Cloudflare:

• Cloudflare ddns
• Cloudflare tunnels
• Cloudflare proxy

It does a a few cons, like not being able to use custom nameservers if you aren’t paying 200$ a month. Also the fact of Cloudflare being an internet gatekeeper may not be to your liking.

I used Google Domains for many years.

I think mostly because it came as a package with my Google Workspace account.

But the whole "selling their domain accounts to Squarespace and not even bothering to notify us kind of turned me off to them.

I am now happily using Cloudflare instead.

Frankly I don’t miss it.
The rates seem a tiny bit cheaper and the API/etc is far more advanced.

I suspect I will be much happier with Cloudflare in the long run
