I've been trying to move away from Network Solutions (now web dot com) for years and NameCheap was the closest to a halfway decent registrar I could find. That said, I don't like them or any of the other registrars. Most of the registrars have been bought up and their backend wrapped with some other companies junk UX. I also tried name dot com. They don't even have the capability to set apex DNS names as NS records. Black Knight closed my account with no reason at all. The only halfway decent registrar is Mark Monitor and they are too expensive for my hobby sites. I always move corporate DNS and Cert management to Mark Monitor, but for personal use, all the popular registrars are just garbage, in my strong jaded opinion. MM is just a reseller of certs and they don't even offer all the capabilities of the vendors they resell.
I am purposefully staying away from AWS. They are super popular right now and developer friendly, but I know how their business operates and that popularity will subside in a few years. I predict many of their users will feel betrayed at some point in the future after enough people have moved to their DNS.
