I remain quite happy with Gandi for both personal and business domain registrations. I’m moving substantially everything else to GCP, as they have approximately the sophistication of AWS, but seem moderately less ethically challenged. Also, their us-west1 region is low carbon. 

I used to use Linode and I’m still migrating away from DO. Linode is completely useless if you ever get DDoS’d, which hopefully you won’t, but they’ll just shut you down and act like it’s your fault. DO is generally fine, but they lack the technical sophistication of the large cloud players, and that’s something I currently need.

It may not be anything you need, but GCP could still be worth trying. There’s free credits and stuff and it can also be a useful skill, depending on whether you ever want a job in the cloud space.

HTH,

Both sudo and omni use gandi as a registrar and DO as a vps host. Sudo

I have been using DO for vps for a long time, and have never had much
of a reason to switch. Lately they've been focusing more on scale, and
less on innovative ux features, which is disappointing but not
surprising. I'm open to other suggestions but it's worked fine for me
and my projects. I used to like Linode because of their OS support and
lish (i wish everything had lish) but they got too expensive.

I used to always use DO for nameservers, but cloudflare has better
support for certbot which has won me over lately - they make it easy
to create access tokens with granular permissions to eg renew a
wildcard cert and nothing else. Cloudflare is not a particularly
ethical choice, they're a mini empire who doesn't give a shit about
you, but they're dev friendly and less evil than amazon, and tbh this
is low on the list of things that keeps me up at night.

The last time I seriously researched registrars was about a decade
ago, and I settled then on gandi, mostly because of DNSSEC support.
