I use a mixture of Cloudflare and Porkbun.
Cloudflare offers domains at cost however there are a few caveats:
- they don't support all TLDs
- they require use of their own nameservers
- in order to transfer a domain from one Cloudflare account to another, you have to transfer it to an external registrar first and then transfer back in. A bit bizarre
I still like Cloudflare though :)

I use Cloudflare, Namecheap and Iwantmyname, but will probably slowly migrate to Cloudflare Registrar. Since domain registrations aren't their primary business, I hope they will keep charging the minimum only.
I like when companies provide services which help their business indirectly, so they have an incentive to keep that service accessible and simple.
But overall annual renewal is around $60 USD.

There is another perspective to be aware of on this... I have been caught out by a service provider when it became clear the service I was using wasn't their main business - and their interest in properly maintaining and operating that service dropped - profoundly.

2. Click "Renew" to sort by renewal fee.
I personally use:
- Cloudflare
- Porkbun: when I want use a custom nameserver (like Vercel)
- Sav: domain I want to sell (coolcases.com; used to be cheapest transfer/renewal?)

Ah useful thank you!
Cloudflare. They claim to charge cost only, which iirc is about $9. Been using them for a few years, and have migrated domaina from other registrars, with no problems.
I use namecheap.com. Just checked a couple domains and it's about $15-16 each.
NJAL.LA for privacy reasons. EUR 15.00 per year which I don't mind.
Cloudflare Registrar has been amazing for me.
Cloudflare Registrar, they charge cost only ($9.77 atm)
Fasthosts £18 per year
netim as I like independents and peace of mind. $15.
Porkbun about 10.37
