Domain registrar

Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.

I know it's not the most popular option here, but Namecheao served me well for several years now. No real complaints that I can think of.

I’ve been using Gandi for years. Love them.

- Have you used Njalla? I was considering them recently, but these reviews gave me serious pause:

I just transferred all my domains out of Namecheap into Porkbun. I think Porkbun is 10 to 50 cents more expensive than Cloudflare, but they seemed a bit easier to use and could hold all my TLDs. So far, a way better experience than Namecheap!

Namecheap. I’ve been using them for several years for various projects and have never had a problem with them.

Honestly, I just go through Dreamhost since I have my hosting there anyway or Route 53, since they have full DNS customisation options.

I use porkbun.

The prices are similar to google domains and the dns management interface is ok.

- Been using porkbun as the registrar and cloudflare for Dns, no complaints. I like the cloudflare interface better and like having Dns and registrar separate.

- I like their sense of humour. The definitely don't take themselves too seriously.

- Do they have dyndns support? That was what led me to google.

  Keep in mind you can always use a different DNS provider who does support dynamic dns. For example you could use cloudflare (free) with a domain bought from Pork Bun.

- Namecheap has okay starting prices but man their renewal prices aren’t great compared to other registrars.

I use Hover… it’s weird no one else does. Should I be moving off?

- Never heard of them, but just looking at a registrar comparison chart, their renewal costs are pretty high. eg. $20 for .wiki renewal at Porkbun and $30 at Hover. Maybe they bundle in a lot of services along with it that make the price worth it? but unless you're taking full advantage of those (if they're offered) then you could def get a better deal elsewhere.

I'm probably gonna go cloudflare because that's what I've had the best experience with besides Google Domains

- I use cloudflare. its really good, plus it includes a tunnel.

I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They're a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.

- They were close to Gandi pricing. Gandi just hiked up their prices on most TLDs by 75-100%. For my next renewal all my domains show up as €28 now. Netim is actualy looking pretty good right now with €15-22. 😆
