Cloudflare Registrar** - my default. Domains at wholesale cost (no renewal markup games), and it's the only cheap registrar with genuine enterprise-grade access control: account members with scoped roles, User Groups for assigning permissions in bulk, account-owned API tokens, and - on Organizations - mandatory 2FA or SSO before anyone can accept an invite. That matters for a distributed team where people join and leave. Caveats: you must use Cloudflare's nameservers, the TLD list is narrower than most, and it's not for domain speculation (no sales/parking).\n\n**2. Gandi** - the best fit if you need broad TLD coverage *and* real permissions. Organizations + Teams give you fine-grained, per-team permission sets, so accounting can touch billing while engineering can only change DNS, with per-product sharing (\"Quickshare\") for one-offs. Prices are noticeably above cost, and that's what you're paying for.\n\n**3. AWS Route 53** - if your team already lives in AWS, this is the pragmatic pick: access is just IAM, so you inherit your existing IAM Identity Center/SSO, roles, and audit trail, and domains become Terraform/CDK c", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
