I don't use Cloudflare because it has so many hooks into so many places that it's a one-stop shop for tracking people's internet use, which I dislike.

Do they have reasonable competitors? I see them used so much.

Porkbun is close in price, and from what I've read, has very good service without the BS typical of large registrars.

NameSilo costs a little more and offers more email forwarding addresses and API features than porkbun does.
