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

I use porkbun.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    Cloudflare for supported TLDs and Hover for the rest

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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Just keep in mind it's not your domain; it's theirs.

    Porkbun. I've been using it for about 4 years. Cheap and without errors

    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 use Namecheap personally. I really like it.

    Porkbun if you’re cheap and Njalla if you’re paranoid. Cloudflare if you do things that other registrars can’t do.

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

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

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

    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

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

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

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

    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.

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

  • [–] 3 points 3 years ago (1 child)

    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.
