With Gandi hiking their prices and doing some shady stuff on top of that, I’m on the lookout for a new domain registrar.
So far, the alternatives I’ve checked out are:
- Porkbun: solid, but limited list of TLD’s, missing a few I need
- Cloudflare: cheapest, easy to use platform, but they require you to set them up as authoritative DNS provider, which I’m not ok with.
- NameCheap: mixed reviews, not so cheap anymore
It seems quite hard to find a decent, no-BS registrar with ok prices. What are your recommendations?
Bonus cookie points:
- privacy-focused
- EU-based
- supports less popular country TLD’s (e.g. .ro)
Switched from Gandi to Netim recently and it seems like a pretty good drop-in replacement. They are EU-based and include email (that they operate themselves).
They do (as one of the few registars) have all the TLD’s I’m looking for. Not the cheapest but decent prices regardless. Thanks for the tip!
