Recommendations for a good .ca domain host? (lemmy.ca)

So lemmiverse, my https://pxtl.ca domain has officially been booted off of Google Domains (welcome to the Google graveyard, Google Domains) and now has been moved into Squarespace, which is expensive.

Anybody recommend a good cheap .ca TLD domain host? One with a decent API for dynamic DNS so I can keep my home subdomain? I have a couple of pi4 servers in the house that could be tasked with pinging an API endpoint to notify the domain host of my IP.

thanks in advance.

Unfortunately Cloudflare does not do .ca domains. I imagine this is because there are restrictions on who can own one, so it's probably not worth the trouble for them.

yep, my most heavily-trafficked site is https://bongo.to which Cloudflare doesn't support for registration. so i have the domain registered with Namecheap but hosted still via Cloudflare. Nowadays I'd check out Porkbun also, I've heard good things.
