Least terrible domain registrars (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I want to get some domains for selfhosted stuff, but I'd like to use a registrar that I won't regret doing business with later, both in terms of ethics and potential customer service stuff. Who do y'all like most?

giggles as the downvotes pour in

Unfortunately yes, and I hate them with everything I've got.

[–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Every time I think GoDaddy has hit bottom they find a way to dig deeper.

Tested porkbun and namecheap. Namecheap has a nice and reactive support from my experience. Porkbun also helped me quickly.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

I have two domains through Porkbun. Never had an issue with them. No-nonsense, simple UI, good prices.

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

I've used two, NameCheap, and PorkBun.

Hated Namecheap, would never use them again. Janky pricing, tons of email spam, terrible UI.

Porkbun has been pretty great. Simple, solid prices, easy to use, no issues for about a year and a half.

I migrated from IONOS and Namecheap to INWX because it does support both domains I use.
And their prices were reasonable.

Migration was quick and neat. Had to issues doing it.

@wetdog love porkbun. Love their API.

They don't support DNSSEC.

[–] philpo@feddit.org 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah,one of the few drawbacks they have. Most people can live with it, but it's indeed one of the things they should be providing by now but don't

[–] EddoWagt 1 points 5 days ago

Is this important when self hosting?

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've been using Namecheap for almost a year now with no complaints

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

I’ve been with namecheap for years too. No complaints

gandi.net

[–] asap@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Move your stuff from Gandi to Netim.com

Gandi got acquired and has done some very weird shit with pricing.

[–] Kuinox@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Got acquired and rised price.
