easyDNS. The founder, Mark Jeftovic, wrote the book[0] on domains. pg commented[1] back in 2008 that, "I use EasyDNS. They're expensive, but reliable and never do anything evil." I've mentioned them a few times over the years; here's my comment[2] from 2015: "Mad props to Mark Jeftovic and easyDNS. Found his service by doing a WHOIS on ycombinator.com when looking for a new registrar a while back. easyDNS has the cleanest and most logical interface for managing domain names and DNS records that I've found. And Mark's blog posts (like the one above) are great.

Another vote for easyDNS. I have been using them for 15 years or more, and have moved all my personal, business and customer domains over there. The user interface is simple and easy to use, and the service is rock-solid. I am happy to pay a bit more for such an outstanding service.

I'll second this. I appreciate the CEO's outspokenness on privacy, security etc. And they're just a decent and inexpensive registrar to boot.

Another +1 for EasyDNS here. Been migrating all of our domains to them from hover over the last ~6 months or so after, after repeated terrible support experiences with Hover. EasyDNS clearly has staff that know their stuff, and get things taken care of, even if their web interface is a bit clunky in comparison to Hover. Looking at the Heroku page about custom domains, it lists EasyDNS directly: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#configuring-dns-for-root-domains https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#configu... * ANAME at easyDNS With a link to: https://kb.easydns.com/knowledge/aname-records/ https://kb.easydns.com/knowledge/aname-records/ So, looks like it should work. :) As a bonus, EasyDNS is one of those places that's known to _not_ automatically roll over to legal requests. So, that reduces the risk of having your online presence disrupted by anyone sending dodgy legal request (or even a forged one).

> easyDNS. They price their offering a tad on the expensive side. From a cursory search, easydns prices some domains at between 2x and 3x the prices offered by the likes of namecheap.
