Where do you buy domains?
Who do you use for a registrar? Your domain is one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure. The registrar that I have been using and recommending for years has started suspending accounts due to international political reasons. I'm in the process of moving my accounts away from the service.
There have been reports of other services automatically suspending domains and/or starting the domain deletion process while providing very limited information to the customer:

I'm currently switching over to https://www.epik.com/ but also considered https://www.gandi.net/
Do you have a domain registrar you use and trust not to suspend you without working with you to try to resolve the issue?
On a side note, I always recommend keeping your hosting and registrar separate so that if you lose access to one, you still have options if one of the services is canceled, taken offline, payment dispute, etc.
I've used Namecheap for over 10 years and never had a problem. If it ain't broke!
Thanks, that is who I used to recommend in the past. The first link I posted ( https://www.indiehackers.com/post/on-launch-day-my-domain-was-suspended-5ff808399d ) was a Namecheap account that got tagged as "Malware/Phishing" on their launch day and it sounds like it took at least a couple days to resolve the issue. I've seen a number of similar issues with Namecheap which is why I decided to move on from them.
