Why can’t we have it all in one place? Every time I buy a domain through namecheap, I feel cheap. I don’t feel cheap when I use Digital Ocean.

Ahhhh… So I need to vote for Digital Ocean to conclude adding domain registrar services is a good idea on a posted started 5 years ago currently marked Under Review. It can’t just conclude that from Cloudflare already doing it or Square Space having just acquired Google Domains.
Got it.
Hey @nexlevel,
It looks like someone has had the same idea before and has posted it on our Product Ideas board. The best thing to do would be to head over and add your vote to it, as well as adding any additional information in the comments for exactly what you’d like to see implemented!
Hope that helps!

Hey @nexlevel,
Hey @nexlevel,
In order for DigitalOcean to sell domains it needs to become a registrar, while this isn’t something that has happened it’s not a guarantee it won’t.
The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
Hope that helps! - KFSys.
