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?

That renewal price on Namecheap is $15

Most registrars give you an obnoxiously low first registration price so they can get you with the real fee (often $15-50+ per year) later.

Any time you see the discount price mark on Namecheap, expect to be paying at least the original price per year.
