Least terrible domain registrars (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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?

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

[–] mbirth@lemmy.ml 2 points 14 hours ago

+1 for INWX

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 Metaregistrar 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.

@wetdog love porkbun. Love their API.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

I have two domains through Porkbun. Never had an issue with them. No-nonsense, simple UI, good prices.

I've been using Namecheap for almost a year now with no complaints
