Hey guys, I am quite new to the whole self-hosting world so I haven’t done too much. Before I dive in deeper though, I’d like to know how I should choose my domain name vendor. Specifically, I only want a domain, no VPS or other hosting capability as I got some old laptops running at home I want to use for testing the waters.

Thanks in advance!

    I used to use Google Domains, but lately I’ve been switching to Cloudflare. They don’t have every TLD, but they have all the ones I need, and their prices are lower than Google’s is.

      The major issue with Cloudflare is that you’re forced to use their DNS servers. I’d rather pay a little bit extra to have more freedom in how I use my domain.
