Domain Registrars in Taiwan

I’m exploring the possibility of setting a online store so I am debating whether to use Shopify or set up own website. In any case, I would need to register a domain with SSL with a local registrar. After trawling past posts, I collated a list with those still in operation:

協志聯合科技股份有限公司(reg.tisnet.net.tw)
亞太線上服務股份有限公司(rs.apol.com.tw)
中華電信數據通信分公司(domain.hinet.net)
網路中文資訊股份有限公司(net-chinese.com.tw)
網路家庭國際資訊股份有限公司(myname.pchome.com.tw)
新世紀資通股份有限公司(rs.seed.net.tw)
台灣固網股份有限公司(domains.tfn.net.tw)
鼎嘉數位有限公司 (https://itn.tw)

I am pleasantly surprised that the last company on the list 鼎嘉數位有限公司 has an English option and its domain is relatively cheaper than most. I am wondering if anyone has used this company for domain and hosting services?

Or if anyone can recommend another company with a English interface and good English customer service support, that would be great for comparison.

GoDaddy supports .tw TLD for $29.99/yr

https://www.godaddy.com/domainsearch/find?domainToCheck=arandomwebsite.tw

I do not use them, so can’t give recommendation.

But it looks like the owners of GoDaddy suck.

Yeah, I was very tempted to go with GoDaddy as it’s quite easy to register. But no way after I saw the renewal cost for another domain I bought last year…NT$2534! Plus with all the upsell and emails that I get…No no.

There is also 101domain.com but with higher cost of 31.49 USD and renewal 41.99 USD

I often use https://shop.gandi.net/en/domain/suggest?search=foobar.tw

There are definitely better options than godaddy… sleazy company.

I use name.com , they have .tw domains for $34 per year.

I usually use expiredomains.net and try to find a good keyword with Taiwan or .tw in it, relevant backlinks, established profile. Doesn’t matter but I think it helps a bit getting traction - and even if it doesn’t get traffic I can use it to support my other sites with backlinks.

For Taiwan domains i’ve just always used myname.pchome.com.tw to register, believe the annual cost of a .tw is NTD720

For .com i use namecheap.com and dns/host with hostinger
