I use Porkbun as my registrar. Excellent support and low prices.

Plus one for Porkbun here. DNS management is super easy too. Low prices was a plus too. Got a ".sh" for half of what everyone else I found has them for.
Another vote for Porkbun here. I switched after Google Domains shared they were selling off to Squarespace. It's been a lovely experience and their website just seems more human than the other big players. Cloudflare isn't a terrible alternative option as long as you'll be using their DNS.
Porkbun is awesome. A few months ago I transferred most of my domains from Namecheap to Porkbun and I’ll be transferring the rest soon.
Namecheap are still in my top 3 after Porkbun and Cloudflare though.

I use Namecheap. It's nice for spending your sats
Been a happy namecheap customer for probably around 10 years now, never had any issues!
I have had issues though, but their support is helpful
Ovh is a good option as their domains come with a free 5gb email and also IPv4 dyndns that's easy to set up. Certbot also has an Ovh api extension for easily making SSL certificates via the dns-01 challenge.
Being in EU and with Gandi bought out and increasing prices, I recently moved to Hetzner as a domain registrar.
TIL Hetzner sells domains.
I can recommend Hetzner without any problems
i got one from GoDaddy, but i regret the choice...
Cloudflare sells domains at cost, and if you ever wanted to their proxy and ddos services are easy addons.
Cloudflare offers a lot of services, including domain registration and DNS hosting.
I used to use Google Domains, but lately I've been switching to Cloudflare. They don't have every TLD, but they have all the ones I need, and their prices are lower than Google's is.
The major issue with Cloudflare is that you're forced to use their DNS servers. I'd rather pay a little bit extra to have more freedom in how I use my domain.
