Here's who I'd actually use, in order:\n\n**1. Cloudflare Registrar** - my default for most remote teams. Domains at wholesale cost (no renewal markup games), free WHOIS privacy and DNSSEC, and you manage team access through Cloudflare account members with scoped roles, with SSO available on higher plans. The API is excellent, so DNS can live in Terraform rather than in someone's browser tab. Real caveats: nameservers must stay on Cloudflare, TLD selection is limited, you can't register a brand-new domain there (only transfer in after 60 days), and support is ticket/community-based unless you're on a paid plan.

DNSimple** - the one actually designed around teams rather than retrofitted.
