GoDaddy has been in the news over the past twenty years for questionable business practices.
I prefer Dynadot (US company). I’ve also heard good things about Gandi (French company). You can also transfer (but not register) domains to Cloudflare.
- jgrahamc 5y agoYou can register domains with Cloudflare also: https://blog.cloudflare.com/registrar-for-everyone/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/registrar-for-everyone/
- rstupek 5y agoDo you know if/when cloud flare will offer registration/ renewal through an api?
- ryanlol 5y agoGandi will suspend your domains for no reason and hold them hostage until you provide photographic ID proof, stay away.
- mikro2nd 5y agoReally? I've been dealing with Gandi for something like 20 years and have never before now heard of anything like this, nor experienced it. Some evidence, please.
- denton-scratch 5y agoI also rate Gandi. I'm also surprised to hear of shenanigans. But the GP's story is about identity verification; I don't see that as a particularly egregious "shenanigan".
- ohyeshedid 5y agoCan't speak to that specific complaint, but Gandi has had other issues in the past.[0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822
- ryanlol 5y agoThere’s no excuse to ask for an ID scan to “verify identity” when you can buy a really really good quality automatically generated fake id scan for $5. Would maybe be defensible if they asked for actually verifiable information, like a dump of the cryptographically signed contents of your chipped passport (haha).
- mikro2nd 5y agoTo repeat: I've never been asked to provide anything of the sort to Gandi.
