My top favaourite : Dynadot, Namesilo, Namecheap, Google, Cloudflare , Porkbun , and Epik. My own reason : Friendly support , Easy push / transfer out , easy payment method, and reasonable reg / renewal price. But I also have domain on other registrar like godaddy, gandi , moniker, and some of registrar in my country.

To answer your question, so far - DynaDot and Epik, followed by others.

To get away from Godaddy I switched to Namesilo and still use them for most of my domains. Their system is very snappy, have knowledgeable chat support and the prices are competitive. The marketplace also allowed payment plans up to 12 months. The main downsides for me are 1) The landers aren't very good looking and they don't identify to you the individual making the inquiry and 2) They recently remodeled the homepage and hand register function in a way that makes it very difficult for me to search for new names.

Around 7 months ago, I discovered Epik and have found them to be superior and almost every way. System changes have a bit more lag than Namesilo would be my only complaint but Epik provides many more services. They are a company really geared towards improving the WHOLE experience for domainers, and I keep finding new features they have added to make my life as a domainer easier.

I've also used Dynadot a bit though I haven't been thrilled with the UI.

With the afternic/GoDaddy situation still being unresolved from my active thread with the domain being sold and removed from GoDaddy account through someone on afternic that didn't even own the name, I'm thinking about moving all of my approximately 1100 domain portfolio to dynadot. I'd mostly consolidated the vast majority of my names at GoDaddy and was only using those two registrars.

Dynadot for buying and holding domains because of low price, nice and easy interface, a lot of tools and their seriousness. For buying and quick resale Godaddy.

I use Dynadot, Epik, and Godaddy for the first year and then transfer it to Dynadot.
Godaddy has very bad renewal prices.

I've been transferring names out of Dynadot to Porkbun. DD has went way down hill in the last year.

Could you elaborate a bit? Are you referring to Dynadot's support or something else? I have also been experimenting with other registrars, but I keep returning to Dynadot every time. I still think they offer the best way to organize and filter your domains, and they have both Afternic DLS and SedoMLS integration. Prices are good too.

Sure, Porkbun are also great. Very sleak interface and good security. But no Afternic or Sedo integration, and you cannot top up your account (except with crypto).

Going into 2021, Epik is still my primary registrar. GoDaddy has picked up a little more from me since they have partial privacy (got to be in the club to save money). One of the others I have used is/has been sold so I will wait to see what the new owners do before I keep regging there.

I like Dynadot, NameSilo, NameCheap, NameBright and Epik. There are pros and cons to all registrars. I use all of them but my fave is probably Dynadot.
