I usually pick whoever has the best deal when I want to register a domain.
I used Namecheap for several years and was happy with it, but the numerous price increases finally pushed me to switch. I recently decided on Porkbun after the many positive reviews I read online. It is affordable and has a very clean interface that doesn’t constantly nag me about purchasing other services. I’m really liking it so far.
ClouDNS.net... I mean, it works.
Name cheap for over a decade with afraid dns.
AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it's nice to have a place for everything.
Joker.com. I've been a happy customer for years and years.
I’m new to this entire field, and only recently set up my NAS with DDNS and everything to get around my CGNAT. I decided to go with Cloudflare since it was a name I knew well, and reviews were good. It did feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it was pretty easy to figure out what I needed to do and what I didn’t, and I am pretty happy with it.
What all did you have to do in addition to DDNS to get around CGNAT? Are you using something like this? https://github.com/mochman/Bypass_CGNAT

1984.hosting, because it's the only one I know that does not require you to run any propietary software.

I have only just recently started domain shopping. Before that I just used the registrar from my web hosting. I settled on trying NameCheap, although their records UI is a bit confusing sometimes.
Doteasy Web Hosting
Goddady. It's cheap they have my local currency.
I've been with GoDaddy for going on 20 years.
Its worked well for me. I started off with their web hosting, but these days they just handle my domains. They've got an API so you can use them as a dynamic DNS provider as well.
