Ask HN: What domain registrar are you using these days?
Namecheap seemed to be the favorite for a long time around here, but they are feeling more and more like godaddy every day.
What registrar do you guys use lately? Is there one that just sells domains?

- elyrly 10y ago+!
- cm2012 10y agoVery easy to use, no gimmicks.
- 75j 10y agoPlus a nice API. I'm curious what OP means by Namecheap becoming more like GoDaddy? I haven't noticed that really.
- toomuchtodo 10y ago+1
- Raed667 10y agoOVH : for the convenience because they also host my VPS (no complaints, works as expected).
- VincentTide 10y agoGoogle Domains or Amazon Route53
- cdvonstinkpot 10y agoGandi.net Private whois comes standard, + 1yr. ssl per domain.
- tedmiston 10y agoThe only reason I left Gandi was my credit card getting flagged for international charges every time they billed. I wish they could establish a trivial U.S. billing point as a workaround. I would have stayed a customer.
- dylz 10y agoWhen was this? I get billed in USD by "GANDI US, INC"
- tedmiston 10y agoMy billing was 2013–2015. 2013 was registration and the other years were just renewals. Note that I had a .io domain so perhaps there's something unusual about those. My credit card provider flagged the charge as international every year, even 2015. Maybe they have some way of knowing it's an international company beyond billing address. I took a look at my billing invoices on Gandi's dashboard and they are: 2013 - GANDI SAS (Paris, France) 2014 - GANDI International (Strassen, Luxembourg) 2015 - Gandi US, Inc. (San Francisco, CA) FWIW I have seen the same issue discussed by others here on HN before.
