Registration (not just transfers-in) is now generally available across 390+ TLDs. Good API, so DNS can live in Terraform.\nCaveat: you must use Cloudflare for DNS, so it's a registrar + DNS lock-in bundle.

DNSimple - the best *actual* team product\nThis is the one built for the problem you're describing: **Domain Access Control** lets you scope which teammates can see and manage which domains, and it supports SSO via Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra, so offboarding a contractor is a directory change, not a password rotation.
