Requirements:
- Domain registration (duh)
- Privacy.
- DNS included.
- Preferably based in the EU, but it’s not a hard requirement
I’ve been using namecheap.
But not sure where they’re based.American though.
GoDaddy has been a joke of a company for decades now.
Namecheap is the best I’ve found, can’t see ever changing. The few times I needed support I got outstanding technical assistance. One case was wildly complicated, with the issue clearly on their back end, didn’t have much hope. Explained to a rep, on a late Friday night, she said OK and went offline for 10-minutes. FIXED.
Namecheap myself for 10ish years now. Never been unhappy
Another vote for Namecheap. I also like they support their legacy pricing for hosting at time of renewal. Many years ago I subscribed to a small hosting plan for a very low price. I had need to set up yet another hosting plan and went looking for it. My preferred one had been discontinued 6 years prior and the new lowest on was a chunk more expensive with fewer features (for my new hosting plan), but Namecheap still honors my old pricing for my original plan. So I currently subscribe to one “cheap” hosting plan and another “not quite as cheap”, and am quite fine with that.
Take a look at metaname. They offer a very minimal (read: unencumbered) service, and are based in New Zealand. Not the EU, but at least it’s not the US.
Nukeproof domain name
Porkbun, AWS, cloudflare, and namecheap are commonly suggested.
I use BlueHost or RackNerd these days

What pissed you off about GoDaddy?
Porkbun.
Decent API, good prices, not trash people.
Cross post this to !selfhosted@lemmy.world. They will likely have good answers too.
I’ve never had problems with Squarespace since they took over registrations from Google Domains, which I used to use.
Godaddy is what I say when I throw my Pokéball to summon Incineroar.
☹️
Echoing the others who commented Porkbun, I’ve only ever had good experiences with them! They’re American though
