Domain name hosting?
Discussion
I have a handful of domain names that I'm not sure why i'm keeping them, years back I thought they may rise in value but that looks very unlikely.
So should I bother to keep them whats the cheapest way?
Originally the host company was $10 or so a year and had free catch-all email divert but that has stopped since being taken over by another company.
Any recommendations?
Also should I one day do a family website with lots of photos is there a low cost way of doing that?

Mine were Google but got sold off to Squarespace this year. My renewal is £10 a year per domain but I have doubts Squarespace will keep it at that.
Yesterday I decided to add email to mine so chose Mythic Beasts to host the email without moving the domains to them.
Once the renewal has taken place I may move the domains - but although .co.uk seems cheap (£6 a year), .com is more (I think £14 a year) - plus vat
I'd also be interested in a cheap place to move the domains to.

the lowest price is defined by the registrar that issues the TLD
for example, ICANN wants $10.26 for a .com per year (https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/com/com-fees-01-09-2024-en.pdf)
mark-up might follow depending where you register; you may get added value for the extra changed.

What is cloudflare, never heard of it, I did google but none the wiser?
Clouflare is a registrar and also provides free and paid networking and security services.Most of my domains are with them and most of my sites are protected by their free tier of service.
If you don't understand what they are, then just think of them to be like NameCheap, GoDaddy, etc. as a domain registration service.
Who are you with now and what are you paying?
I'd be inclined to try to find a smaller registrar where there's a chance of a little hand holding if there are questions.
Cloudflare are great but they aren't aimed at the average home user and with all respect to the OP I can imagine a "WTF" moment when he logs into a newly created Cloudflare account
