Yall know some good domain registars?

Deciding between Cloudflare and Porkbun but they are both hard choices.

Heard pork bun was really good :)

When will windows finally die and linux takes over?

  • I prefer Porkbun over CloudFlare. IIRC, you have to use only CloudFlare DNS if you purchase a domain from them.

  • Define "good".

    Besides Cloudflare and Porkbun, I'm also using these:

    • Namecheap
    • Dynadot
    • Sav
    • Cosmotown
    • NameSilo

  • I use Dynadot and Porkbun.
    Porkbun offers more domain TLD options, for the cheapest price.

    For .mk domains i use DDHost (cheapest), but as well you could use MKhost (better support, more expensive). Also there are others, with questonable nature of their unlicensed basement operations, that could screw you over over your domain ownership.

  • Hello friends,

    They are almost the same. Porkbun uses Cloudflare servers. There are many others who also use Cloudflare (such as Namecheap). Dynadot is a bit different because uses Google servers instead of Cloudflare, but Google is just another corp.

    I am afraid we might have a problem with regards to nameservers and registrars. Corporations control most of the internet nowadays.

    There's a new domain registrar in town, https://spaceship.com that is selling at-cost domains. I believe Namecheap owns them, or at least Namecheap's CEO is somehow involved with them as apparent by his Twitter

    I posted on LET about it.

    Thanks, moved microlxc over from Porkbun to Spaceship.

  • Pork is well known for their bad practices to police users. Avoid. Cloudflare had no such incident in low end universe. Yet.

  • Anyone here use netim.com for domains? Thinking about moving from gandi.net to them.

  • I use CloudFlare for most domains, but for the few TLDs they don't support I use Gandi. I used to use NameCheap who were okay, and I have many customers who use 123-Reg

    Porkbun cause sometimes they have chunky discounts on recurring so you can buy 10 years

    I do, but only for ccTLDs.

    Been using them since 2013 or so.

    I have a few domains there.
    Have had some issues with transfers getting stuck and it took support a couple of days to answer and then another couple of days to fix the problem, so if you are the kind of user that requires constant and immediate help from support I would look elsewhere.

    Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit.

  • Horse is dead and beaten, but for the record Porkbun. Also worth noting TakingNames

  • Thanks to this thread. I'm gradually moving all of my domains at Porkbun to Spaceship. Both are competitive in pricing, but Spaceship UX/UI is way better. And they look promising.

    I love Namesilo and Cloudflare because they are cheap

  • Cloudflare:
    I moved to Cloudflare for its "at cost" renewal pricing. To use Cloudflare's free domain registration services, you must use Cloudflare DNS and accept a private registration. I read elsewhere that domain transfers between Cloudflare accounts are not allowed, either.

    Porkbun:
    I looked at Porkbun and rejected them for several reasons, but the bottom line is that I do not trust them.

    Gandi.net:
    Very good and recommended, but expensive. I moved my domains away from Gandi, but only to save on costs. Otherwise, I would have stayed with Gandi. By the way, they operate two businesses under two different legal regimes: one in France under French law, and one in the US under US law. When the US business opened years ago, they offered me the option to move my account from France to the US operating under US law, and I accepted.

    AIT and AITdomains:
    Bad. Avoid them. I used them for 20 years and still wonder why I kept my domain registrations with them for such a long time.

    Personal Notes:

    If Cloudflare is facing "at-cost" domain registrar competitors emerging and I feel that I can trust one of them, I might consider changing away from Cloudflare to avoid Cloudflare's DNS and private registration requirements.

    I looked at spaceship.com and was not impressed with the lack of any business description, business information, or simple price lists on their website. Every contact or other indication of ownership or business operations are links or email addresses. I found two obscure links in the legal documents on their website that point to NameCheap as the company that is operating the Spaceship business. (One of them was pricing, but it pointed to a NameCheap pricing page.) Not impressed. I won't go there.

    Dont you worry that spaceship is still a new registrar?
