>Either way, GoDaddy is not the first choice for a new domain in 2026.

Off the top of your head, what would be a decent one?

Porkbun. Their prices are very reasonable and their support team is consistently responsive and helpful. Honestly, even if their pricing was higher I would still choose to use them because it's clear their goal is to maintain a useful product, not infinite growth andendshittification

Top tier is still MarkMonitor. Last I spoke with them, they had a five-figure minimum spend, but the per-domain costs are competitive. That cost buys you proper named support contacts, etc.

If you look up the whois for microsoft.com or yahoo.com, that's who you'll find.

Hmm, Porkbun? Name.com? Something like Infomaniak if you prefer Europe?
