I've been using namecheap. But not sure where they're based.

American though.

Porkbun! But US based too

Namecheap is the best I've found, can't see ever changing. The few times I needed support I got outstanding technical assistance. One case was wildly complicated, with the issue clearly on their back end, didn't have much hope. Explained to a rep, on a late Friday night, she said OK and went offline for 10-minutes. FIXED.

GoDaddy has been a joke of a company for decades now.

Been happy with porkbun.

Porkbun, AWS, cloudflare, and namecheap are commonly suggested.

Godaddy is what I say when I throw my Pokéball to summon Incineroar.

Hetzner is pretty good for that and EU based.

I've always used OVH, never had problems with them. They also offer emails for pretty cheap.

It's Canadian but I use EasyDNS which has operated here forever. It's privately owned by a Mark Jeftovic who's fairly well known as an internet advocate / policy expert and ran as a candidate for the Libertarian Party of Canada, so is privacy focused.

Porkbun.

Decent API, good prices, not trash people.

maybe gandi? what pisses you off with godaddy?

Absolute zero issues with netcup (EU/de). Also comparatively cheap usually, and has frequent sales (always the same offers, afaict).

DNS is included with Domains, but I'm using desec.io as my DNS mainly for full dnssec compliance (free, de based, if registrations are open, works with certbot DNS challenge for letsencrypt).

I'm surprised you held out this long! GoDaddy has had waves of stressing, and departures in correlative droves.

You show remarkable resilience and you can be proud of that.

Cloudflare except I think they're in the US.

Privacy is free. Domains are at cost. DNS is updatable via the webui and API as well.

Echoing the others who commented Porkbun, I've only ever had good experiences with them! They're American though

Infomaniak, a Swiss registrar

Cross post this to !selfhosted@lemmy.world. They will likely have good answers too.

What pissed you off about GoDaddy?

I like Hetzner. They host my server and my domains.

Take a look at metaname. They offer a very minimal (read: unencumbered) service, and are based in New Zealand. Not the EU, but at least it's not the US.

I've never had problems with Squarespace since they took over registrations from Google Domains, which I used to use.

I use Mythic Beasts

Is Cloudflare an option?

INWX.de?

I use BlueHost or RackNerd these days
