Also me. Every 10 years my domains expire, and I can just pay a few hundred bucks again and forget about it, or I can do a bunch of work to move them somewhere and adjust A records and fuck around with stuff I don't remember and potentially have downtime.

Use AWS Route53 it is so much better.

Check it out, it's much easier to use and they don't charge any markup.

One thing I like about Route53 is how granular the permission can be. This lets you automate things more easily and securely.

Yeah AFAIK people use Route53 when, e.g., there is a need to automate making subdomains for customers and stuff like that.

IAM permissions are almost always a pain to get right but they can be so useful when you can create an API key with permissions to do only exactly what it needs to do.
