Hmmm...I'm debating between Porkbun, Iwantmyname and Domain.com - which one do you guys think I should add next?

Suggest checking out Dynadot - they always run some promos and I typically get .com for 99 cents first year. Then they are $8.99 including proxy/privacy. I had many of issues over the years that were flawlessly solved with Dynadot chat support. Issues I was unable to fix with NameCheap (who has all customer support team in Eastern-block of Europe, so "made in America" does not apply), and also GoDaddy gave me issues. Besides I had a small back-and-forth battle here on HN with Namecheap CEO (I won), but needless to say it showed how unprofessional and childish the CEO of such popular company can be. Also Namesilo is gaining some traction. Reliable, worth trying, but no chat help.

  Thanks a lot for these suggestions - I've noted them down and will check them out! And re: Namecheap CEO's behavior - that's quite sad to hear. Nonetheless, my experience with them has been mostly positive though :')

I've been pleased with iwantmyname. They also do some cool organizational stuff and are pretty transparent.

I would take a look at Epik.com, customer support is good, and prices are decent. I like their new nameliquidate service, a reverse auction for domains. I usually post domains there that I’m not going to renew.

I can vouch for iwantmyname. Great customer support that went above and beyond what they had to. They even worked with Protonmail to get my custom domain functioning.

  Got it! Thanks guys - Iwantmyname actually reached out to me but I wasn't sure how legit they were since I've never used their product, but after you guys' testimonials, I think I'll add them to the next version of One Word Domains! :D

Porkbun, but I'm biased.
