Kagi.com - excellent search engine. Yes, it shouldn’t be needed, but in this day and age it clearly is. Excellent slop filter, and it let’s you downrank and uprank certain sites in your search results. And I just found out you can see the most popular sites for each category, so it’s fast and easy to see which sites probably are and aren’t worth having in your results at all. It makes internet search feel like it did 20 years ago.
Namecheap.com - It’s where I have my domain names. Mostly because they aren’t godaddy.
I’d be careful with Kagi: unfortunately, collecting your payment information and attaching it to an account is directly at odds with maintaining privacy on the internet. I used Kagi for a year and did enjoy the search, but ultimately didn’t renew due to privacy concerns.
They do have privacy pass, which claims to alleviate some of the privacy concerns, but then you lose all the customization functionality (my main use for Kagi) and there appear to be some issues with it (see this thread https://piefed.social/post/1204472).
