Is it one that you just use and works just fine? Or one that has proven to be reliable and responsible if they do a mistake and only want to satisfy you as a customer?

Currently namecheap, but I was pretty mad to see that API access (for ACME DNS record auth, which I need to prevent downtime) was not available due to my yearly plan being too cheap (?!). You need to spend at least 50$ per months or have at least 20 domains for no good reason.

The best solution seems to acquire the domain using namecheap and then transfer name servers to a better service.
