I've been very pleased with Google Domains.

They probably won't be the cheapest (most .com's are $12 a year), but they don't try to upsell much if at all, the pricing is really consistent and there are no surprises (no bullshit like the first year is $1 and the next year is $40 unless you remember to go do something), and their management UI is really nice.

I only have about 6 domains with them, so keep that in mind, but I've been extremely happy with the whole thing.

I'm also, like, 90% sure that when you are using your custom domain on Google, as a business user, the "recover my email via phone number" option goes away, because you are your own "administrator" and if your "users" lose their password they just have to go to you.

(Which closes that gaping hole in your email security.)

I'm not using the "Google Apps" part of their services, i'm just using their "domains" offering at domains.google.com

They can be the same thing if you want, but they don't have to be. You can use an externally hosted domain with google apps, and you can use Google domains without "google apps" (like I do).

Also, as of somewhat recently, I believe you can disable "recover by phone" as an option if you want for any google account.

I still use google domains, but am slightly irked by the fact that they recently redesigned their UI for no apparent reason--it's much worse now.
