Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.

I 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.

Moved to Porkbun yesterday. No fuss, quick setup and pricing is good.

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.

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.

I’ve been using Cloudflare for a while now, Namecheap before that. Both have been good to me, but I prefer Cloudflare more for their various other services, so it made sense to move the domains there as well.

I just switched everything over to cloud flare the other day. I already ran most my services through them so it just made sense. The very next day Google sold their domain biz.

Namecheap has okay starting prices but man their renewal prices aren’t great compared to other registrars.

Thanks for this comment, I hadn’t compared pricing in a while and just assumed Name”cheap” was cheap haha! Looks like I might switch to CloudFlare (where I manage DNS anyways) and/or porkbun which others have suggested.

Namecheap. I’ve been using them for several years for various projects and have never had a problem with them.

Same here. My only complaint was the slow adoption of hardware MFA tokens, and the limited DNSSEC support on some TLDs but that’s mostly resolved now.

I have used NameCheap for a long time and they have been great. I use AWS Route53 and Cloudflare for some zone hosting and both of their domain registration services are fine but usually not the cheapest out there.

I’m basically in the exact same boat. Used namecheap forever, and sometimes use route 53. They both work well
