We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

hmmm i got a domain cheap for first year on namecheap, but it goes up to 20$ for year two. But if i move my domain to Cloudflare, yearly renewals are 10$, which they say is 'at cost'. Is namecheap better than it seemed? Or are you paying more yearly after the first year than if you migrate them to cloudflare?

Cloudflare’s popularity with everyone kinda concerns me, so I’ve always avoided it. Plus I don’t do anything currently that requires their capabilities.

As for namecheap, they haven’t caused me any drama in the last 10 years. The one time I needed their customer support, they solved my problem quickly. I think I’m paying $15/year for each of my domains, plus an additional $60 for email services. There might be cheaper options, but I like drama free.

Probably depends on the domain name. Lots of registrars up the price after the first year. Been using NameCheap for a decade or so, no issues, no large price hikes, excellent tech support.
