One thing that I've always liked is the endless scrolling. IDK if there's a way to endlessly scroll through magazines but maybe that would make it more like reddit /r/all ... Because I would almost always go there and scroll for thousands of pages.
Even on sites that I've developed, I've gotten rid of the pagination. Unless it's something completely stupid, I just allow the user to scroll and feed in the results below the fold...
Two decent choices ...
Cloudflare - honestly probably the best. No, you will not save money. But you get the single best DNS / Cloud Firewall combination in the world.
Enom - Again, not about saving money. The UI is dated ... but the sub account options works well for the "family and friends" thing so that you are not on the hook for renewing THEIR crap. You can keep your stuff your stuff and their stuff their stuff.
