Hey everyone

I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert when it comes to designing websites.

I volunteer for a non-profit and with another (non-expert) volunteer was put in charge of creating a website for the organization. We designed the website on netlify (from our understanding netlify is the host in our case?) and are now looking to buy a domain with the non-profit's name and link it to netlify. Now there are quite a few domain registrars out there! We had initially settled for GoDaddy, but found that it didn't have a good reputation. I’ve seen Namecheap and Cloudflare mentioned are there any strong opinions or ones to avoid?

Also, anything I should watch out for when connecting a domain to Netlify?

A bit more info: This is a small non-profit and the budget for getting the domain name would be $5-7 per month. The website likely won't be getting much traffic (at most 100 people per month) as it will mainly be used to provide information about what the non-profit does, show our current and upcoming activities and will also allow clients to download pdf forms to register for our different programs.

Thanks for your time!

Hey everyone

I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert when it comes to designing websites and web hosting.

I volunteer for a non-profit and with another (non-expert) volunteer was put in charge of creating a website for the organization. We designed the website on netlify and were initially going to host it on GoDaddy, but after looking into the company found that it had a very bad reputation. We also realized that besides GoDaddy there were quite a few other web hosting companies out there. So with that context I've got two questions (1) was using netlify a good choice (more about what the website will do below) and (2) are there specific web hosting services you would recommend that have a good reputation and are affordable?

What is your monthly budget: This is a small non-profit and the budget would be $5-7 per month.

Where are you/your users located: The organization/users are located in Canada

What kind of site are you hosting (Wordpress, phpBB, custom software, etc) or what is your use case: I'm not sure for this one the website will mainly be used to provide information about what the non-profit does, show our current and upcoming activities and will also allow clients to download pdf forms to register for our different programs.

Do you have a monthly traffic volume? Estimates are ok: The website likely won't be getting much traffic (at most 100 people per month).

Did you read the sidebar/check out the hosts listed there: I've Yes, I've read the sidebar but I'm not sure which would host would be appropriate in my case

Thanks for your time!
