Least terrible domain registrars
-
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
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 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?
In case anyone was wondering:
namecheap: US
porkbun: US
INWX: Germany
OVH: French
onlydomains: NZI personally have been with onlydomains for a decade or so. 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'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.
-
Also been using namecheap for years with no complaints. Boring and dependable.
Boring and dependable.
Just like I wish politics were.

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
