Best site to buy a domain name
Main Post:
I'm new to the world of domains. I've bought one once, but I don't know much about configuring and what are the best options of websites for buying them. I'm trying to buy a domain name for a website I'm building, so
What is the best website to buy a domain name? Like godaddy, vercel?
And should I transfer that domain name to cloudflare? How does this work?

What's the best domain registrar in 2024?

There were a few registrars that kept showing up more often than any others. They usually had glowing reviews, and few to no complaints. Here they are in approximate order of how commonly they were recommended:

Feel free to share your experiences with these registrars or add any options I may have missed in the comments.

Edit: Removed Gandi from the list because of unpopular decisions such as drastically increasing prices after being acquired by Total Webhosting Solutions.
Edit 2: Do not trust anyone recommending Dynadot under this post. They keep spamming the comments with obviously fake reviews. I've asked the mods to lock new comments.
Top Comment: Dynadot, I have 1k+ domains there
