Although I started seriously with GoDaddy like 15 years ago because they offered superb offers' year by year, they ended those offered and I moved to NameCheap, that was the "Cheap" as the name indicates, back in the day (10yr+ ago). But then they became NameExpensive, so I moved to NameSilo because they were not super-cheap but very stable in prices. But out of the blue, in the past 2-3 years they have started rising the prices like mad, so now I'm moving to Porkbun.
This seems cyclic, every 5 years a new contender comes into the ring.
For me, the most important thing are stable prices at good rates, not necessarily the cheapest rates, but slightly under the average if possible.

Namecheap used to be too good but they have raised the renewal prices on some tlds
Porkbun good for now with no hidden fees
Previously used Godaddy only for promo grabbing not recommended now since it will takes entire wallet on renewal

I had using GoDaddy in the past. But renewal price is the worst. $35 for one domain. No matter what. I moved to Namecheap. But it's not that cheap as you'd think.
Now I'm using is Porkbun for all my domains (more than 24 in my account) and it's my favorite. No extra charges year to year. It has stable price. I think i will stay long there, of course. So yeah, Porkbun

Porkbun for sure,It always has great deals, and there are no hidden fees.
Plus, they've amazing black Friday deals and other deals throughout the year.
Namecheap once upon a time had great deals but not anymore.

I'm transferring all my domains to Cloudflare now when renewal comes. For initial 1st year registration I'm going with cheapest register in the market. For client's domains I choose Godaddy coz they provide good tools to manage clients in GoDaddy pro.
I have found porkbun to offer great pricing. Why is namecheap getting member votes? Do they offer better pricing and value than Porkbun?
I usually use https://www.domcomp.com/ to compare pricing but not sure how updated is their pricing for different providers.
I always tend to find the renewal prices to be very high as compared to the initial purchase price.
Price is my only factor while purchasing the domains since factors like support and performance are not relevant for domains, they are a set and forget kind of a thing.

Namecheap Pros:
Dynadot Pros:
Namecheap was great for domains but they've been increasing prices steadily over the years so now I use Dynadot. Namecheap customer support is amazing though so if you stick with Namecheap I completely understand why. Also f#ck GoDaddy
