I've used more than 25 different registrars over the last 15 year of domaining. I'll share what have been the best registrars in my opinion - based on their ease of use, customer support (or lack of needing to ever use it), price, bulk domain management, fast-transfer, and other factors that make a great registrar great.
Here are the top 5 registrars that I recommend, in order:
1. Dynadot.com - Fantastic all around experience. Competitive pricing, easy interface, easy opt-ins for fast transfer, and great support.
2. Sav.com - Competitive pricing, great interface, and I have not had one instance of having to contact customer support about anything. Others report issues with customer support, but I cannot comment on it. In my opinion, a great registrar should prevent you from ever needing to contact support, and Sav does that.
3. Namesilo.com - A bit outdated, but straightforward registrar, great pricing, with great support.
4. NameCheap.com
5. Porkbun.com
Registrars that have wasted the most of my time, money, and caused the most stress:
1. GoDaddy.com
2. NetworkSolutions.com
3. Z.com
4. Epik.com
5. HostGator.com
If you can, avoid all of these and save yourself countless hours and a lot of stress.
