So I'd rank by per-person accounts with roles, 2FA/SSO, and an audit trail.\n\n**1. Cloudflare Registrar** - my default recommendation. It's the only mainstream cheap registrar with genuine multi-user accounts: you invite people by email and assign *Super Administrator*, *Administrator*, or *Administrator Read Only*, so nobody shares a password and you can revoke a departing teammate without rotating anything. Pricing is at-cost (registry fee, no markup, no first-year bait). The catch: you must use Cloudflare's nameservers, so picking them is a DNS decision too, and registrar-level actions effectively need admin-tier access - the roles aren't granular per-domain.\n\n**2. AWS Route 53 (Domains)** - best governance if you're already on AWS. Domain registration is an ordinary IAM-controlled resource, which means real least-privilege policies, SSO via Identity Center, and every change landing in CloudTrail.
