Which domain registrar?

Which domain registrar would people recommend these-days?
Most of my domains are .com/.net and I have a few UK's
they're currently registered through a logicboxes reseller, but now that the privacy protection stuff is no longer free I'm not sure I really want to stay on that platform as personally I'm not a big fan of it.
Although I have a reseller account pretty much all the domains on there thesedays are mine anyway so it doesn't really need to be a provider that's designed for resellers.
Might just go back to using namecheap which is who I used to use in the past, or if there's someone else I should be looking at?

First, find a coupon to register at Godaddy to save money.
Then transfer to namesilo, and renew if necessary.
I use name.com a .com with privacy would cost 15$ year
I will recommend OVH & NameSilo not only they have cheap prices but free WHOIS privacy as well.
NameSilo.
namesilo
OVH I found to be a pain to transfer .UK's but personally like namecheap although namesilo does free privacy I can't say ive used them yet
NameSilo +1
I've been using AhNames for a couple of years now. Free privacy and best prices for .com/.net/.org/.me. Can't help with the .uk ones.
.com/.net namesilo is the cheapest.
*.uk tsohost and ovh are cheap for 2+ years
Be interesting to see if the ones offering free privacy start charging for it as the logic boxes reseller I use claim it's due to new icann fees
Will probably use Tsohost for the UK domains as I already have some other services with them and they've been pretty decent so far.
I would just use a coupon at Godaddy.com you can always transfer if you wish to -
However their 24/7 call support is very useful and especially needs recognizing!
I prefer Namecheap (privacy is free) and the coupons usually bring it down when it's time to renew. As for real privacy (ie anonymous), you could try Yohost.org
I start liking uniregistry, great panel management and features + all free privacy
Always use "privacyplease" code to get whois privacy for free.
Google Domains
I used to recommend namecheap. Now their page is too slow to do anything 99% of the time, so I guess go with namesilo, which is cheapest from what I know. Have not tried it, but many recommend it.
Vote for namecheap because I'm a Chinese and GoDaddy is unfriendly with Chinese.
I think godaddy is also sexist and against net neutrality. (?)
Internet.bs
Personally i use dynadot.
Moved some of my .com/.net to namesilo and the uk domains to tsohost
Got a few more that aren't due to renew anytime soon that I'll leave where they are for now.
Im using google domains at the moment for my new domains and transferred a few too as there dns is pretty solid .
Google Domains is only available for the US.
+1 For Namesilo.
Im in the UK and I have it
VPN + US billing address + UK Payment options = Winning I guess.
Could be a bit risky. Their TOS States you must be a US citizen But if you can bypass that then good luck!
Well technically I will be soon anyway as my fiancee lives in the US.
I Love BigRock and hover.com
+1 for Dynadot
