Least terrible domain registrars
-
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?
Tested porkbun and namecheap. Namecheap has a nice and reactive support from my experience. Porkbun also helped me quickly.

I'm using Cloudflare, because it's quite convenient since I always end up using them as DNS server.

I'll throw in for namecheap. Been with them for a while with no complaints.

I was with Namecheap for years, and they're totally fine. I am now with Cloudflare because they're a bit cheaper and their API is well supported in various tools, and they also seem fine.

They're also slightly cheaper since they don't take any profit from their registrar side, hoping to make it back with other services.

Another +1 for name cheap, been using em for a decade now. Their deals are stellar and renewal prices are on par with any other competitors usually

Also use Cloudflare as new domain registrar because I use them as DNS as well.
I can’t say that I’ve had any problems with them at all.Same, I also use Cloudflare dns, tunnels, and pages. Having these all in the same place makes it easy to deploy/keep track of everything

I wouldn't buy domains from Cloudflare from a risk mitigation perspective. At work I direct six figures of budget their way annually, but as a free-tier customer in my personal life I don't trust them not to fuck up at some point and lock my account. If I register my domain elsewhere I can bring myself back online by moving the nameservers. If it's registered at Cloudflare I'm fucked.

INWX has been great so far, have been with them for about 6 years at this point. Also had good experiences with their customer support.
-1 for INWX. Still waiting on a domain transfer, domain is stuck for about a month, chat support was useless

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.

Have you tried......GoDaddy???
giggles as the downvotes pour in
Unfortunately yes, and I hate then with everything I've got.

I've been with Porkbun since Gandi got acquired. No complaints.
Acquired by whom?

I have one of my domains on Cloudflare and was thinking of moving the rest of them there. What makes it harder to move name servers away from Cloudflare than other places?

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

I’ve been happy with Hover for several years. They don’t bug me and they’re owned by Tucows so they’ve got decades-old staying power.
I can't believe they're still around
