Vouching for Porkbun, which has .com renewals for $9.13/year. The web interface is simple and no-nonsense. I have been using Porkbun for many years for TLDs that Cloudflare Registrar didn't support, and have never had a problem.

I also use porkbun, also because of cloudflare registrar not supporting some TLDs. One thing that really impressed me was porkbuns phone support.

When I transfered in some domains I had some questions about their UI so I gave them a ring, and immediately I was chatting with an extremely competent product engineer.

No phone system to navigate, no filtering through L1/L2 "support", no bullshit. I can't remember the last time I've had such a pleasant experience contacting support for a service.

My favorite feature [1]:

> PASSWORD PROTECTION: Want extra protection on your domain when changing certain features or getting an authorization code? Within the Password Protection section in your domain Details area, you can set a password by selecting the toggle switch "ON." From there you can create a password that will be required to enter when managing certain aspects of the domain.

They also support security keys (WebAuthn) [2]. I’ve used them for 3-4 years and have no complaints. I don’t like the handshake stuff, but you can’t blame them for wanting in on that windfall.

PorkBun is definitely my go-to choice. I've used Namecheap and Hover previously, but PorkBun has been the best experience overall.

A very no-BS experience.
