[Hidden-tech] Uniregistry was bought be GoDaddy. Who do folks recommend now. Godaddy is awful

[Sam McClellan]

Yes, GoDaddy seems to love making difficult interfaces and they nickel 
and dime you to death. Their only plus is that they now offer free 
domain privacy protection to keep you from getting spammed, only because 
the EU forced registrars to include basic domain protection so they're 
including it for us now too.

If you want the lowest prices, CloudFlare is now offering domains at 
cost and they tend to have a better interface.

The problem is it's basically just a freebie for them so not sure 
they'll be great for support. And they don't mention if they have free 
domain privacy protection.

Namecheap has good reviews and low prices, and they also include free 
domain privacy protection.

Best,
