## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a distributed team, the thing that matters most isn't the $2/year price difference - it's whether multiple people can hold scoped access without sharing one login, whether there's an API you can script against, and whether recovery doesn't depend on a phone call during US business hours. Ranked with that in mind:
> 
> **1. Cloudflare Registrar** - At-cost renewals (~$10.46/.com, zero markup), a genuinely good API, and account-level roles so you can give someone DNS edit rights without registrar control. Best fit if you're already on Cloudflare. Two real catches: you must use Cloudflare nameservers, and support is community forums unless you're on a paid Business plan - bad if you need someone to unblock a transfer at 2am your time.
> 
> **2. DNSimple** - My pick if the team is engineering-heavy and wants proper delegation. It has per-domain access control, so you can scope a contractor to one domain and a "Domain Manager" role to nameservers/SSL/email forwarding only. Excellent API and Terraform provider, so DNS lives in your repo instead of someone's browser tab. Costs more per domain; you're paying for the control plane, not the domain.
> 
> **3. Porkbun** - The pragmatic default. Cost-p
