# Namecheap

#### A domain name registrar should do the following things:

* have good registration/renewal fees
* support many TLDs including those you plan to use
* provide [Whois Privacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_privacy) (for free or at nominal cost)
* have a quick and logical administration interface
* allow using third-party name servers

[Namecheap](https://namecheap.com) checks all those boxes for me, so I've been using them for a long time now.

[Cloudflare](/third-party-services/domains-dns-cdn/cloudflare.md) has also entered the domain registrar business and I've experimented with using them too. Currently not enough [supported TLDs](https://www.cloudflare.com/tld-policies/) (specifically country codes) to use it exclusively.
