AWS Route53. Lets me keep all my domains in one place. If Cloudflare did .au I’d switch to that.
I used Namecheap for several years and was happy with it, but the numerous price increases finally pushed me to switch. I recently decided on Porkbun after the many positive reviews I read online. It is affordable and has a very clean interface that doesn’t constantly nag me about purchasing other services. I’m really liking it so far.
AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it's nice to have a place for everything.
ClouDNS.net... I mean, it works.
Name cheap for over a decade with afraid dns.
I really like IONOS for my domains. It is not the cheapest, but you always have a SSL Wildcardcertificate and SMTP included.
A good AIO package
1984.hosting, because it's the only one I know that does not require you to run any propietary software.

I’m new to this entire field, and only recently set up my NAS with DDNS and everything to get around my CGNAT. I decided to go with Cloudflare since it was a name I knew well, and reviews were good. It did feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it was pretty easy to figure out what I needed to do and what I didn’t, and I am pretty happy with it.
What all did you have to do in addition to DDNS to get around CGNAT? Are you using something like this? https://github.com/mochman/Bypass_CGNAT

I have only just recently started domain shopping. Before that I just used the registrar from my web hosting. I settled on trying NameCheap, although their records UI is a bit confusing sometimes.
Joker.com. I've been a happy customer for years and years.
I've been using namesilo for years without issue
Doteasy Web Hosting
Goddady. It's cheap they have my local currency.
I've been with GoDaddy for going on 20 years.
Its worked well for me. I started off with their web hosting, but these days they just handle my domains. They've got an API so you can use them as a dynamic DNS provider as well.
