I have important domains on Namecheap. Should I move them to Porkbun or Cloudflare? I only buy cheap, throwaway-type domains with Cloudflare, as I find them too corporate-like to support me for my cheap $10 domain, and that's why I kept good ones with Namecheap despite their 2x pricing. I want to work with an American company with real support. (But not with godaddy of course).

Porkbun seems to be the current "correct" choice. That may change in one year or 10 years - but that's just how business works in the 21st century.

For what it's worth, I have had brief one-on-one contact with Porkbun support once. Their checkout was failing when using PayPal one day, and a seemingly real person emailed in response to my ticket about an hour and a half later to let me know they'd corrected the issue.

If you ignore this thread, did you even consider it before now? I've been with Namecheap for at least 16 years but this is the first I've read of complaints and never had any complaints myself. Which should make one question this whole thing altogether.
