Ask HN: Domain registrar recommendations
I used to use GoDaddy and then I switched to Namecheap. Now, I am wondering if there are better alternatives out there which I am missing. Cheaper would be appreciated, too, but I am mostly interested in "better" for values of better TBD.
This is mostly for .com domains.
- ptrptr 10y agoFor .com I would suggest OVH.com, they give free WHOIS privacy, also they provide free basic hosting for registered domains.
- djsumdog 10y agoI've been using name.com for years. They have a really good UI, good e-mail communication and support automatic renewal.
- philippz 10y agoIt doesn't really matter where to register your domain. What you want to consider could be your flexibility regarding their DNS system. The better the DNS system, the faster is the first page load of your website. For example for STOMT (https://www.stomt.com https://www.stomt.com), we have our domains registered at AWS, like our servers. But our nameservers are on DNSMadeEasy because they have a much faster DNS-system. Let's have it clear, this is overengineering. We're totally down for speed and that way we saved people between 30-90ms. And this decision doesn't suit your criteria to save money.
