Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.
I know it’s not the most popular option here, but Namecheao served me well for several years now. No real complaints that I can think of.
Porkbun. I’ve been using it for almost 4 years. Cheap and without errors
I wish porkbun had a zone file import tool.
https://njal.la for privacy, paying with crypto and no bs. Although a bit more expensive.
Namecheap has okay starting prices but man their renewal prices aren’t great compared to other registrars.
I just transferred all my domains out of Namecheap into Porkbun. I think Porkbun is 10 to 50 cents more expensive than Cloudflare, but they seemed a bit easier to use and could hold all my TLDs. So far, a way better experience than Namecheap!
Enom
I’m using porkbun for my instance and it’s been great
my domain renewal was half google domain’s offering priceI use porkbun.
The prices are similar to google domains and the dns management interface is ok.
I like their sense of humour. The definitely don’t take themselves too seriously.
Been using porkbun as the registrar and cloudflare for Dns, no complaints. I like the cloudflare interface better and like having Dns and registrar separate.
Do they have dyndns support? That was what led me to google.
Keep in mind you can always use a different DNS provider who does support dynamic dns. For example you could use cloudflare (free) with a domain bought from Pork Bun.
I’ve been using porkbun and never had any issues.
I’ve been using Gandi for years. Love them.
Honestly, I just go through Dreamhost since I have my hosting there anyway or Route 53, since they have full DNS customisation options.
Namecheap
Another +1 for namecheap here. Have a dozen or so domaions/projects with them.
+1 been with Namecheap for many years and have many domains with them. Also very happy with their support.
Namecheap. I’ve been using them for several years for various projects and have never had a problem with them.

Have you used Njalla? I was considering them recently, but these reviews gave me serious pause:

I don’t really think Trustpilot is a good place to get info, a la Yelp.
Hard disagree on that, I’ve found it invaluable as a tool for assessing the safety of a company. Sure you’re going to get some idiots who simply don’t know how to use the tool and go online to bitch about it, but if you’re seeing a significant number of people making the same complaints about support or having domains withdrawn from them, it certainly makes me suspicious.
Thank you for your reply though, it’s good to hear that some people are having success. My understanding from the reading I’ve done online is that they used to be a lot better but have fallen in quality over the last 2 years.
