   What domain registrar do folks use? I am finally wanting to pull the trigger on moving away from Dreamhost so I can stop paying for web hosting I don't use.

     @benhamill DNSimple, because their CEO has never sold the company to big tech and will actually respond to support emails because he's still a developer there and also he's on fedi @aeden

     @benhamill also their API is fantastic and I've yet to see another NS that replicates your changes as fast
     
     bonus: I think they're the only DNS hosting company that uses a custom Erlang DNS server instead of BIND/DNS/Knot or another old proprietary NS implementation (trying to remember what Verisign's internal NS was called... Atlas?)
     
     TL;DR reliability and low latency
