Don't pick — let Seekname compare for you

The Namecheap vs Porkbun question used to matter when you committed to one registrar for everything. It matters less now — most domains can be transferred between registrars in 5–10 days, and renewal-only customers can push prices down by threatening transfer.

Seekname pulls live prices from Namecheap, Porkbun, and every other major registrar in one search. You get the cheapest price per domain without loyalty to any single brand.
