I'm shopping for a new domain provider. Just seeing what is out there. I've been with Namecheap for years, and if i had a gripe, it would be about the price hikes, which really are just ICANN prices kicked down to us, but, I am wondering if there is greener grass out there. Recommendations?

Thanks.

** Edit, an update after doing the math. My working matrix for why I am migrating to Porkbun.

Namecheap > .tv = $40.98

Porkbun > .tv = $26.26

Namecheap > .co = $45.48

Porkbun > .co = $31.20

Namecheap > .net = $18.58

Porkbun > .net = $12.52

Namecheap > .com = $18.48

Porkbun > .com = $11.08

Porkbun has a tonne of TLDs and is reasonably priced and great. No scummy paywalling like you get work so many registrar's

    Namecheap isn't that cheap tbh. I've been pretty happy with Porkbun.

    Personally I've been pretty happy with namecheap and would stay with them unless you've had a problem.

    So, why this makes sense for me to leave Namecheap is renewals

    Namecheap > .tv = $40.98

    Porkbun > .tv = $26.26

    Namecheap > .co = $45.48

    Porkbun > .co = $31.20

    Namecheap > .net = $18.58

    Porkbun > .net = $12.52

    Namecheap > .com = $18.48

    Porkbun > .com = $11.08

    I don't operate any others, but that is pretty self-explanatory.

    I'm on porkbun and am quite happy with them. Been with them a while, but when I first purchased my domain name, they were one of the cheapest and looked decent in other ways too
