Godaddy spammed me so much and so often that I transferred my domain to porkbun.com.
It's been so problem-free that I couldn't even remember the provider's name -- I had to WHOIS my domain to figure out who was hosting it.
- pottertheotter 6y agoI've been using Porkbun for a few years and have no complaints.
- isaacimagine 6y agoI've been using porkbun for a while and it works great. Worth a look.

- nett18 6y agohonestly, the company is amazing, they are the discord equivalent of domain hosting
- opan 6y agoWait, do you mean something positive by this? Discord has always struck me as pretty horrible... I'm not even quite sure how to interpret what you've said in a positive way. Maybe implied popularity, but it's debatable whether popularity is in fact a positive even.
- rytill 6y agoWhat about discord has been horrible for you?
- nonbirithm 6y agoNo ability to use third-party clients without being banned.
- tfsh 6y agoSure, it's against the TOS, but I've been using an external client for probably 2 years and haven't been banned or warned. If Discord are aware then they've explicitly chosen to do nothing.
- filmgirlcw 6y agoI use a combo of porkbun, Namecheap, Google domains (primarily all the .dev stuff from that landrush), hover (some legacy stuff) and Isnic (the Icelandic registrar for .is domains). I like Porkbun quite a bit but sometimes Namecheap is cheaper or it’s easier to just add to that account. I think I can proudly say I’ve never used GoDaddy as a registrar, but I’ve been with some bad ones over the last 20 years so I can’t claim full moral high ground either.
- rconti 6y agoI found it interesting that Ted mentions Namecheap searching .is. I have a .is domain through Isnic (actually just renewed yesterday), and I'm using 1984 for DNS because Isnic requires a domestic NS provider. But Ted's comment implies you can register .is through Namecheap. I wonder how/if they get around the Icelandic NS host problem.
- jlgaddis 6y agoI've had an .is domain for a few years now and wasn't aware of that requirement. DNS service for my .is domain is handled by AWS Route 53.
- filmgirlcw 6y agoI think that there was a time when a smaller number of DNS providers was registered with ISNIC. As the gTLD has become more popular, more DNS providers have gone through that process.
- esdf 6y agoISNIC doesn't require domestic NS providers. They do require the nameservers to register a contact though. https://www.isnic.is/en/domain/req#req-hosts https://www.isnic.is/en/domain/req#req-hosts
- filmgirlcw 6y agoI believe that requirement ended. I had to get a different DNS at one point for my .is (registered in 2009) and I still maintain that account with DNSMadeEasy out of laziness), but when I helped a friend register a .is and when I got some additional ones more recently, I didn’t have to do that anymore. I believe Namecheap offloads some of the info for .is back to ISNIC. The only reason I don’t do it under Namecheap is that I’ve had the ISNIC account for 11 years and it’s easy enough to get my annual email reminding me to renew, but I was able to get my friend’s registered through her Namecheap account without issue at the end of last year.
- rammy1234 6y agocosmotown.com does spam big time. I created a domain with name ending *cookbook.com, so much spam. I feel miserable for creating one with them.
- narwally 6y agoI've been really happy with Gandi on this front. I just checked, and I haven't received an email from them since I had to confirm my email address two months ago.
- monkeydust 6y agoSecond gandi, not always cheapest but close enough. Good interface and support.
- ludjer 6y agoI originally was also on Godaddy, but now I moved to Porkbun and never look back. Love their website and their name.
