I used to have a really cheap domain from Namecheap before, and I used Cloudflare as my DNS. I’m going to buy a new domain, and Spaceship seems to be the cheapest registrar for my domain right now (I’m only buying for one year), however they seem really new. Are there any differences between Namecheap and Spaceship, and should I use one over the other?

    I use namecheap for a ton of my domains, but I use them only as a registrar. All of my hosting is done on other providers (aws, digitalocean, linode, etc.).

    This means I’ve got access to my hosts’ machines via command line, and so can setup up certbot really easily. Though going with a self-managed host also means you’ll need to have some technical proficiency to take care of things yourself. But to me, that’s part of the fun.
