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?
I moved all my domains from Google to OVH, OVH have an API so you can get certs with certbot. You could also use the API to update records for a dynamic home broadband

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.

I've always used NameCheap. Can't speak to their ethics, but customer support has been excellent the few times I've needed it.

Been using Namecheap for a decade or more now. Great company, no muss, no fuss, just works. The greatest thing is that they're boring as fuck. That's one of the best qualities to have in a domain registrar.

Namecheap
This. NameCheap actually responds to abuse reports, as well. Turns out they actually think it's bad for business to allow grifters and con artists to use their services, unlike other major registrars.

Gor acquired and rised price.

Also been using namecheap for years with no complaints. Boring and dependable.

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

I have a server with OVH. I hadn't realised they're a registrar also.

I’ve been a happy customer of Metategistrar for over a decade. No complaints, fair prices. Just moved a .be from Gandi there because they wanted to charge me €30 excl. VAT for 1 year. Retail price of .be by DNS.be is about €5 and Metaregistrar only charges me €7,5 excl. VAT for a .be for a year. Was at Gandi with that domain because they used to offer free mailboxes with domain name registrations but have since stopped that. Shop around people!
Thanks for the tip, I'm getting pissed off at the Gandi .be prices as well, just ludicrous.

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've domains from both DomainMonger and NameCheap. If it were trivial, I'd probably move my domains to NameCheap. The web UX is a little better; aside from that, I've never had issues with either, not heard anything particularly bad about either.
But, yeah: +1 on the NameCheap suggestion.

Seconded. I switched from namecheap when they raised the price of my domain. I never had a problem with name cheap but porkbin is cheaper.

Boring and dependable.
Just like I wish politics were.
