I used to have a really cheap domain from Namecheap before, and I used Cloudflare as my DNS. I'm going to buy a new domain, and Spaceship seems to be the cheapest registrar for my domain right now (I'm only buying for one year), however they seem really new. Are there any differences between Namecheap and Spaceship, and should I use one over the other?

I only buy one year at a time.

And then change to a different domain? Depending on the domain, you may not be able to renew it for another year for $2

Or pay a fee >$10 for transferring the domain to a different registrar.
