DNSimple
When you have several DNS domains contracted with different domain providers, you must manage each domain with its corresponding provider. With the DNSimple portal we can bring together all domains in one service and manage them from its portal. In this way we can register the domains with the providers that offer us the best price at all times but we will always manage all the domains from the same portal.

Anyone who generally needs to register domains or who would like to have free email forwarding for their domains, especially thoughts working on a budget considering how inexpensive Porkbun is compared to other registars.

They all have similar functions, but I decided on DNSimple because of its prices and the fact that it does not have your domain "kidnapped", since you can have your domain at any time to move it to another provider. It also offers very personalized support to customers and tries to solve any problems that arise.

Simply put, Porkbun doesn't try to overcharge you. You are paying a near-bare minimum cost for each domain while still getting great support, and unlike a lot of other registrars, you aren't being upsold something due to the lower costs. You just receive a good service.
