I permanently moved to namecheap quite a few years ago, around the elephant-shooting episode at godaddy. I have nothing interesting to say about namecheap. Their stuff just works and is cheap. Memory says whois protection is added by default these days. I use the web mail once or twice a year and it supports TOTP passwords though not yubikey.

My DNS is kind of in flux now. Was using ISP, but recently moved to OpenWRT on the router with AdGuard. Is a cache that I believe gets its upstream from Quad9 right now. It's configurable.

Apple stuff sometimes forces its own DNS I think, so not easy to corral those devices any longer. Mozilla comes with Cloudflare DOH by default now. Not sure the best "holistic" strategy any longer, as devices and browsers decide what is best for us, and sometimes we travel.

Author asked about authoritative DNS servers used to serve purchased domains, not recursive DNS resolvers.

Learned about porkbun.com for domain registration on HN, moved all my domains there, and have been very satisfied.

I use Dynadot for domain registrations and Cloudflare for DNS.

Desec.io

Free and extremely good. Nice interface and api access too.

OpenSRS for the registrar, and I run my own DNS servers.

I'm using gkg.net, ovh and Google cloud domains as registrars, depending on the gTLD.

As for authoritative DNS, I'm hosting my own solution based on powedns, custom backend, and route53 + Google Cloud DNS, evaluating Bunny DNS as well.

Good ones are also ClouDNS.net and digital ocean, albeit it is very basic with only a handful of RR.
