Recommendations for a good .ca domain host? (lemmy.ca)

So lemmiverse, my https://pxtl.ca domain has officially been booted off of Google Domains (welcome to the Google graveyard, Google Domains) and now has been moved into Squarespace, which is expensive.

Anybody recommend a good cheap .ca TLD domain host? One with a decent API for dynamic DNS so I can keep my home subdomain? I have a couple of pi4 servers in the house that could be tasked with pinging an API endpoint to notify the domain host of my IP.

thanks in advance.

Some (probably most) domain registrars allow to use different nameservers. So for example i use namecheap, since its cheap as domain registrar but cloudflare for DNS, since the API is free and widly supported.
