What for? I still have this[^] floating around since 20 years. Does it remind you of something?

... and the original UFO, Terror from the Deep, the UFO remake, UFO aftershock, XCOM Interceptor. I got them all.
Did you hear the little easter egg in XCOM Enemy Unknown? In the background, someone complaining about some Commander Straker and his S.H.A.D.O. operstives[^]? It's not a secret that this old TV show was one of the inspirations for the original UFO game.

To understand this, first and foremost, we turn to the most accurate source of information available to us today: Wikipedia.

To bolster our understanding, we next turn to that other source of knowledge and wisdom on the internet, YouTube.

Just looked for "Domain" and "Registrar" and a couple of other words here on CodeProject.
So far, found nothing.
Is there a group here focused on Domain Name registration and renewal ?
I have some coming up, and I want to get some ideas from other people who know more about this than I do.
Also, if there are other sites which are already more focused on this topic, I welcome links to them.

Neither of those has much to do with programming, which is the CodeProject focus. Perhaps if you explained what information you are looking for ...

Correct. It is an ancillary facet.
Links to other sites where this topic is a central focus are welcome, requested, and sought.

Not sure what you're looking for. I use NameCheap, set the auto-renewal, and forget about it. They sent nice renewal notices which I review, but otherwise, it's a 'self-driving" experience.

I just moved all my domains from 1&1 to Google Domains and it was painless transfer. All the DNS settings were trasnferred across and things like exchange hosting on O365 continued un-interrupted.

I moved from 1&1 to Google domains a few years ago and was delighted. Google domains work great and they don't bother you. 1&1 was such a spam generator. 1&1 was really terrible.

As far as renewals and DNS settings at your registrar, there's really not much to it. Unless you are changing your webhost you shouldn't have to mess with DN registration with renewals. If you are changing webhosts, just point the appropriate DNS records to the new IP address...simples.
One other thing, the company you lease your domain names from would probably love to sell you on a hosting plan, but that's up to you. You can even self-host if you have broadband and a static IP.

I used to have a static IP and hosted my server here at home in my office, but since 2003,the ISPs I've talked to won't issue a static Ip unless it's in their serverfarm.

I used Network solutions for years, but when I recently moved to a new server, I used the server's registrar. The transfer was easy, once I got NS to release the lock on the registration.
The only complaint with NS was the price, but I registered with them since 1991.

Originally on GoDaddy, I am moving everything off their services as they expire. For a combo of a domain + low-cost web hosting, I moved to NameCheap BUT I had a need for the free email forwards included - if that's of no concern to you then other registrar options become viable.

Here's a quora.com answer to your question, maybe one of the answers there has the answer you need. Some of them point to discussion areas. Wear gloves.
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-most-famous-domain-hosting-discussion-forums[^]
I'm not sure what is making you cagey about asking the questions you need to ask.
My own experience:
Got tired of having to give out new emails every time I changed jobs or some email company went out of business. And I was worried about potential clients being able to follow me every time I had to change email addresses. And friends and colleagues as well. This was before Gmail and Linkedin existed. Got a sudden inspiration for a 6 letter domain name. Bought it from GoDaddy and have used them since. My wife and I both have been using webmail since 2001 because it was easier to use while we were doing a lot of contract work and would switch jobs frequently. This was also pre-smartphone and the tendency of people to carry an email client in their pocket.
My most heavy use and interaction with GoDaddy and domain use is still around email.
I have one full domain dedicated to my job hunting. I send all recruiters and job boards to emails there and that allows me to dedicate a single separate Gmail account to read all the crap that comes down that pipe.
I have an account I use for signing up for websites that insist on an account to move forward, which allows me to catch their future "marketing efforts" into a garbage bin. My virtual secretary, Mags.
I have a set of forwards and accounts that do dedicated jobs for me. On-call alerts, game sites where they email me my turn, that sort of thing.
And any other companies I do business with I hand them their company name as the user and they go to the catchall account. e.g. bestbuy@mydomain.com
I never hand out an email that isn't a forwarder. It reduces successful hacking attempts if the hacker tries to log into accounts that don't exist.
For domains: I never buy a domain for more than a year at a time. I never agree to have all the domains renew on the same day. I do use auto-renew. The credit card is dedicated to a set of auto-pay accounts, so if it gets compromised my other credit cards are insulated and if we see something inappropriate on the bill it will stick out like a sore thumb.
Godaddy has been adequate. Never exceptional but they do their job and usually don't create problems which is what I look for in a vendor of this kind of service.
