Since Google Domains is shutting down, I am looking for a new place to transfer my domains. What are others using for domain registration?
blackstrat ( @blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk ) English11•1 year agoI use namecheap.com with the DNS on Cloudflare
orionstein ( @orionstein@orzen.games ) English4•1 year agoNamecheap is great
Thndrchld ( @Thndrchld@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoSeconded. I have multiple domains on name cheap, and manage those domains with cloud flare. Even my self-hosted stuff at home. Especially my self-hosted stuff at home. Maybe google wouldn’t notice a ddos, but my shitty spectrum internet sure would.
HTTP_404_NotFound ( @xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com ) English6•1 year agoCloudflare currently.
Have used Google, Amazon, namecheap too.
Just. Don’t use godaddy
dan ( @dan@lemm.ee ) English3•1 year agoI like gandi.net. Their UI is pretty inoffensive.
chameleon ( @chameleon@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agoI’ve been happy with Gandi but their future looks bleak. Gandi was bought by Total Webhosting Solutions/now your.online a couple of months back, which is pretty bad news. They’ve been purchasing Dutch companies and increasing prices while letting their services turn to shit for a while now. The raised prices came in a few weeks ago, we’ve yet to see the services turn to shit but I am extremely confident it will happen.
Gandi is just the first international purchase by TWS, so not many people know it, and there are few relevant references on the English-speaking web as most of this was localized to the Netherlands. You’d have to search on Dutch tech news sources like tweakers.net and use some translation tool to find anything meaningful.
dan ( @dan@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year agoAh that’s disappointing, I’ve been a pretty happy (occasional) user for years. Enshittification hits everything eventually :(
FredOnline ( @FredOnline@kbin.social ) 0•1 year agoRecently their prices have skyrocketed, Gandi are now poor value for money.
dan ( @dan@lemm.ee ) 0•1 year agoOh really? That’s a shame. Do you have a better alternative?
FredOnline ( @FredOnline@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoThe majority of my domains were with Gandi, they’re now with Porkbun.
Also, check out this link for prices/offers, etc:
StuffToWrite ( @StuffToWrite@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoThanks for that website, really useful!
Didn’t know this existed
smokinjoe ( @smokinjoe@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoAhh damn it google. Why do I ever trust any of their products?
sporez ( @sporez@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoCurrent favorite and where most of my domains reside is Porkbun. Secondary choice would be cloudflare.
𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬 ( @Dirk@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoI use selfhost.de (they register domains via united-domains for you) who are specialized on self-hosting in Germany and offer a wide variety of options on how to connect a domain using dynamic DNS.
Hanhula ( @Hanhula@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoNamesilo. Genuinely cheap, and fantastic service every time I’ve needed to ask something. Plus: free privacy!
CrimeDad ( @Kurt@lemmy.one ) English2•1 year agoPorkbun worked well for a newb like me.
PupBiru ( @PupBiru@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agomy go-to for anything they support is porkbun: they’re cheap, reliable, and technically competent
for backup for domains they don’t cover, 101domain has a huge selection
for actual DNS hosting, i use cloudflare (migrating from dnsimple) but also wouldn’t be against route53
Maximilious ( @Maximilious@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoI’ve been using namecheap for years and redirect DNS through cloudflare. I think my yearly renewal is around $25. I’ve been thinking of transferring to cloudflare, but their pricing model is really expensive for their other products and don’t really want to feel pigeonholed if my price gets inflated above what I already pay.
sunaurus ( @sunaurus@lemm.ee ) English2•1 year agoLately I’ve been registering domains directly at Cloudflare. If you’re a Cloudflare user anyway then it’s super convenient!
The only downside is that they don’t support less popular TLDs (yet).
eosph ( @eosph@lemmy.remotelab.uk ) English2•1 year agoI’m about to migrate everything from Gandi to porkbun. So far the UI has been really good.
𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙚 ( @erre@feddit.win ) English1•1 year agoCloudflare if the TLD is supported. Otherwise, Porkbun or Namecheap.
I_Miss_Daniel ( @I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoI use https://synergywholesale.com/domain-names/ in Australia, but I’m a reseller so I get pretty good rates.
ᗪIᐯEᖇGEᑎTᕼᗩᖇᗰOᑎIᑕᔕ ( @DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz ) English1•1 year agodynadot.com – relatively cheap (.net domain) and has a good interface. I can give you a referral code that’s worth €4.50 if you choose to sign up with them. :-)
squaredx ( @squaredx@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoI use Porkbun to register my domains and hook them to cloudflare for dns
