Any suggestion of a good serious independent European registrar?
- Freak_NL 4y agoI wish I had something useful to recommend now, but we've only just started looking.
- uselpa 4y agoI am happy with OVH. Only bit that’s missing is IPv6 for dynamic IPs.
- LoganDark 4y agodoesn't OVH require ID verification after you pay? and then run off with your money if they don't get it at least, that is my experience
- uselpa 4y agoI had to identify by ID iirc because I wanted a .eu domain which is restricted to EU citizens. But I had to give the ID upfront.
- LoganDark 4y agoI wanted to purchase a VPS and they took my money before asking for ID. I refused to give them an ID that I didn't have (because I don't have one) and they kept my money and refused to provide service. So at least don't get a VPS unless you're ready to give ID, heh.
- ehPReth 4y agoI had a dedicated server for.. 4 months? or something before they suddenly required a scan of my ID before they would let me renew. Really weird and annoying. No abuse complaints or anything awry I was doing with it either :/
- hn_go_brrrrr 4y agoSounds like a wonderful reason for a chargeback.
- LoganDark 4y agoI tried to chargeback but the card company was like "nah chargebacks are inconvenient, just have some credit". Was pleasantly surprised.
- lostfocus 4y agoI'm happy with INWX
- bauruine 4y agoI'm using Infomaniak. I especially like their renewal warranty [0]. It's a few bucks more a year but they renew the Domain even if you are not paying and try to contact you by phone, snail mail etc. They also support IPv6 and DNSSEC.

- corford 4y agoNot sure if it meets the European criteria but I use a combination of DNSimple and Porkbun and am very happy with them both. For less common ccTLDs, Gandi is still hard to beat since they support virtually everything. Apart from that, I have no regrets moving... I saw the writing on the wall about 2 years ago and moved virtually all my domains away from them.
- zvr 4y ago> Not sure if it meets the European criteria but I use a combination of DNSimple and Porkbun Neither of these meets the European criterion.
- corford 4y agoShame because they're good registrars. I wonder why the European requirement though (since the TLDs themselves are ultimately governed by the registries and you can always use your own - or third party, EU based - name servers).
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoI used to be on Versio, but moved to TransIP after the acquisition of Versio by TWS. TransIP is not exactly the cheapest, but they work fine. Vimexx (which is under the same company as TransIP) is cheaper (closer to pre-TWS Versio pricing), but I'm a bit hesitant to trust a 'budget' registrar again.
- OoooooooO 4y agoI use INWX for some years for 2 domains and can't complain about anything.
