Domain registrar

I use porkbun.

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

I've been using Cloudflare for a while now, Namecheap before that. Both have been good to me, but I prefer Cloudflare more for their various other services, so it made sense to move the domains there as well.

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

Cloudflare for supported TLDs and Hover for the rest

I have used NameCheap for a long time and they have been great. I use AWS Route53 and Cloudflare for some zone hosting and both of their domain registration services are fine but usually not the cheapest out there.

Namecheap

I've been using nearlyfreespeech.net for (looks) 14 years now. Their business aligns with my ideals and I've always been happy with their service.

Porkbun. I've been using since 4 years. Cheap and without errors

Cloudflare, the prices are just right, and the features they offer are hard to beat.

Namecheap has been good so far. They even provides free DNS service when everyone was still charging for DNS. We have cloudflare now that provides better free DNS service, but for domain registrar I'm still loyal to namecheap.

I'm using porkbun for my instance and it's been great
my domain renewal was half google domain's offering price

https://njal.la for privacy, paying with crypto and no bs. Although a bit more expensive.

I have most of my domains on Google, but also have a couple on CloudFlare. I suppose I will just move them all to CloudFlare. They offer free WHOIS privacy and several other features for free. For those of you self hosting on a dynamic IP, there's a pretty good API that you can use for DNS updates.

I think Hover is the best. Not the cheapest though. If you want cheap and good, go Cloudflare.

I use primarily Hover, I want to like Cloudflare but I don't like that they require using Cloudflare's nameservers in order to use the registrar.

Whatever you do, just don't ever use GoDaddy.

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!

I moved my domains from google domains to cloudflare earlier this year. Cheaper and I haven’t had any issues

I use Namecheap personally. I really like it.

I use cloudflare since that’s where I run other stuff anyway (static site builds, edge functions, etc.)

I use Cloudflare for TLDs they support, and Namecheap for everything else. Though, I use Cloudflare's DNS services for all domains.

I can recommend https://inwx.com

Thanks for the post! I didn't realize google was going out of the registrar business. I only have a couple domains with google (mostly stopped using all of google services so this was the final service I was using).

I really like cloudflare due to the at-cost renewal/registration so that'll be where I am moving them to

Just switched to cloudflare after the seeing the announcement. It's actually cheaper too, for a .com its $12/year from Google and for cloudflare its only $9.15/year. Switching was painless, was already using cloudflare as the nameservers for the domain anyway.

Namecheap, but all my domains use Cloudflare's nameservers

I'm using Porkbun and Cloudflare lately. No complaints.

netcup.de

Porkbun usually has the best pricing. TLD List is a good resource to consult too.

I’m out of the loop, what’s wrong with google domains?

I’ve been using squarespace for my domain and hosting because I got a special deal on it. I was planning on switching to Google but now I’m wondering if I should just keep it on squarespace

Porkbun

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 would recommend Porkbun, been using it for almost 1.5 years after I had to migrate from Namecheap. Wouldn't really recommend the latter

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

I'm using INWX

Enom

Porkbun

What did I miss regarding Google Domains?

EDIT: Just saw, squarespace buying it.. goddamn it...

I use Internetbs.net, sometimes Name.com if they have a particular TLD way cheaper.

Porkbun or namecheap depending on use case and cost. Both have been reliable.

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

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

I wish porkbun had a zone file import tool.

Consolidated all of my domains with NameSilo.com over 10 years with no regrets. Prices are very good with no additional fee for WHOIS privacy protection. I’ve tried multiple registrars, including GoDaddy back when they were good.

Disclosure: I work for a hosting company and we use eNom (as a reseller). I’d still pick NameSilo.com

Uh... Google Domains... damn.

Well actually it depends, I have things spread across different registrars for different things. For all my personal stuff I have been using https://www.namesilo.com/ for over 5 years with not much to complain about. They generally have good prices and support quite a few TLDs, and no nonsense. Though they've been in a control panel redesign limbo for like 2 years which is pretty annoying, especially since I liked the old one better.

For IT stuff that I do for nonprofits and other orgs I've used Google Domains, but I guess that will have to change. Mostly because it integrates well with Google Workspace. I already use Cloudflare for a few of these things, so maybe I'll just move the domains to Cloudflare too. Generally I'm pretty happy with most things Cloudflare.

I hear excellent things about Porkbun but have never used it myself.

I have been using cloudflare. It works nicely, and integrates well with their tools.

I moved all of my data from google domains to it.

I have also previously used amazon, which wasn't horrible.... and previously used quite a few other registrators.

The only BAD one I have used, was godaddy. Don't use them. They.... are evil.

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

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.

I use blacknight.com their support is unreasonably good, plus they're local to me.

name.com is nothing special but it has worked for me for years

GoDaddy. Easy, no hassle. DNS config is OK. There are libraries to programmatically configure DNS (for Let's Encrypt).

I recommend namesilo, and the reason is because they give privacy shield for free in all your domains, also good prices, and also you can pay with bitcoin at market price. I kind of hate to put my personal data and my financial data in the same spot, that's why the bitcoin part is important to me.

Another vote for Cloudflare as suggested by many others

I've been using porkbun and never had any issues.
