I’m using DuckDNS currently, but am hoping to up my game with Caddy etc and want my own domain with more than the 5 subdomains. Any recommendations for providers?

I used Google Domains for many years.

I think mostly because it came as a package with my Google Workspace account.

But the whole "selling their domain accounts to Squarespace and not even bothering to notify us kind of turned me off to them.

I am now happily using Cloudflare instead.

Frankly I don’t miss it.
The rates seem a tiny bit cheaper and the API/etc is far more advanced.

I suspect I will be much happier with Cloudflare in the long run
