OT: Israeli domain names

[אורי]

Any .il domain name registrar recommended 2019? I have problems with
LiveDNS and I want to stop using them.

Do I have to renew a domain when I transfer it to a new registrar? Does it
cost money?

Are there big differences with prices or quality between registrars?

Not relevant with non-.il domain names, there I prefer to use NameSilo most
of the time.

GoDaddy cheated me 2 years ago and recently they refunded me "taxes" which
they collected from me in 2017. I read about a class action lawsuit against
them. I spent at least 3 hours trying to receive this refund which
eventually I received. They insisted on refunding it to the same credit
card I used in 2017 (which I don't use any more). You can register a domain
even for 99 cents with GoDaddy but if you turn your back they will pick
your pocket. I would not recommend using them.

Anyone else got a refund from GoDaddy?
