I used GoDaddy when I got my first domain, and then I heard about drama and switched GUI namecheap for domains. That was 10 years ago and I've never once had issues.

I'm now with Cloudflare and pretty happy.

I have my domains at namecheap. No drama. Sometimes they live up to their name, would not use their hosting services.

When I use the domains elsewhere , I just enter the name server URL’s in their web gui from the 1990s.

Over the years I have heard bad stuff about them too

Same. I've gotten hosting at Digital Ocean and Vultr, and now I'm at Hetzner. I've always maintained that separating the registrar from hosting is a good idea.

Yes, not having all eggs in same basket is good
