Here's how I'd rank them.\n\n## 1. Cloudflare Registrar - the default for most remote teams\nAt-cost pricing with no renewal markup (~$10.46/yr for .com), and more importantly a real multi-user org model: Super Administrator / Administrator / Administrator Read Only at the account level, plus **domain-scoped roles** so a contractor can touch staging domains but not production. Solid API + Terraform provider, and DNS is their core business. Two real caveats: domains registered there **must** use Cloudflare nameservers, support is community forums unless you're on a paid plan, and TLD coverage is narrower than the retail registrars. Domain-scoped roles have been rolling out via early access, so confirm availability on your plan.\n\n## 2. DNSimple - if you want actual team primitives and will pay for them\nBuilt for teams rather than retrofitted: Domain Access Control, SSO with Okta/Entra/Google, a genuinely good API and docs, Let's Encrypt wildcards, 99% SLA on the Te", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
