Private and/or cheap places to register a domain (sh.itjust.works)

You have 5 seconds to answer 😃

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

I used to use Google Domains, but then they sold that off to Squarespace.

Now I just use Cloudflare directly lol which also includes their free services, which is quite the value IMO

Well... their free services remain free regardless of your registrar. Still, I don't really mind supporting them given how useful they have been even in just the free tier.

Yea poorly worded, I meant that the free services would kick in directly rather than having to mess with nameservers and crap like I used to do whenever I bought a domain on Google lmao
