I moved the hosting of my personal site from GoDaddy to Mythic Beasts recently, and have been happy with the move. A friend purchased his site through NameCheap, curious what people think of them.

What are some alternatives to GoDaddy that folks prefer here?

As mentioned in the article: Porkbun. A friend of mine uses Cloudflare as they don't charge on top the registration and ICANN fees that they have to pay (or so they say on https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/registrar/)

This is the general problem with GoDaddy. They make random changes, don't communicate those things, and then you send your time trying to unravel their mess.

But then what's the plan behind this change anyway? Am I going to scramble to buy 19 more domains? Of course not! I'll move and they'll get $15 less a year (or whatever they charge for a .net these days)

I’m with you. I’m moving all my domains to PorkBun. Maybe check that out?
