Companies with better established security infrastructure like AWS and Google make for better registrars in my opinion. They're not perfect, for example with Google you might lose your domains due to a youtube infraction. Actually, now that I think about it strike Google from the list, just AWS really.

I would love to use AWS's registrar exclusively for anything I host there, but unfortunately they have a pretty limited selection of TLDs. it's more important to me that all my domains are in one place so I can review them at once. I really wish they would support more.

If "viewing all at once" in a single UI is more important then security, reliability, etc., you don't have many constraints to begin with.

a domain registrar has three functions:

1. configure my nameservers and whois info.

2. pay my bills.

3. prevent other people from taking over my domain.

I can see how AWS would give you more confidence in #3.

considering AWS is just reselling Gandi, I would love to hear how AWS (or any registrar) can be more reliable than another :)
