I would also include support for Dynamic DNS and API access as well. Those both can come in handy depending on what your doing. I know this wasn't as common years back but maybe it is more supported now.
I used Namecheap and I think they required that I have like $50 credit on my account before the API access would open up. Maybe that has changed, like I said this was years ago last time I need to look.
Fair point. I failed to mentioned features in my previous comment. Things like WHOIS Privacy are essential to me and I imagine it is for most of us (self hosters)
Any registrar worth their salt will offer whois privacy and local representative services nowadays. I would not use a registrar that wasn't capable of them — even if my domain didn't require either, I would take it as a sign their services are limited and sub par.
Absolutely agree! Just pointing it out in case OP runs into a registrar that doesn’t offer this
Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don't have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.
