Most enterprise class registrars (registry =/= registrar) are brand protection and brand monitoring services. Quite expensive for individuals and probably not in the price range of OP, according to the description of his circumstances.

I've used name.com, namecheap.com, sav.com and porkbun.com as registrars without difficulty, although one will always find anecdotal reports of problems other users have had with any service.

GoDaddy, on the other hand, is to be avoided. It's like the PayPal of domains. Awful customer service and dark patterns everywhere.

How about Cloudflare Registrar?

I like them as a company, but I wouldn't use them as a registrar if there was a significant risk of UDRP. Domains are not their core business and customer service is close to non-existent if you're not at least a pro-level customer. For your case, you should use a dedicated domain registrar, such as the ones I outlined earlier. Infomaniak is another registrar that I've found good in terms of customer service and price. They're Swiss based, and I've found them to be competent and professional.

Thanks! Does it make a difference that the registrar is in your country, or at least in your "continent" (i.e.: EU) for those bad things that can happen like UDRP, etc.?

I understand and really appreciate the feedback.
