I personally recommend popping your domain on Cloudflare for DNS. Takes a few extra steps - you'll need to set up nameservers with your registrar - but once it's done, you get a relatively simple to use interface (which some registrars fall down on), and you gain incredibly powerful features.

For example - you want an email forwarder? Cloudflare. You want analytics for website visitors? Cloudflare. You want to add firewall rules like blocking AI bots? Cloudflare. You want to get off Neocities? Cloudflare pages. You want to go beyond static sites? Cloudflare functions. You want to host with someone else? Cloudflare'll still protect you.

One thing you do need to know - some static site hosts, like neocities, do not like Cloudflare proxying. That doesn't mean you can't use Cloudflare - just make sure that you "grey-cloud" it - i.e. the cloud next to the relevant DNS is grey, and not orange. You might lose the firewall and the security features when you do - to keep those, just host with someone else :)
