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

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

So they profit from high-profile commercial users to subsidize the free tier (proxy, tunnels) and cheap DNS. What's wrong with that? It's not like we absolutely need those (proxy is nice but you can use vps, tunnels are also offered by ngrok).
