I used to use Uniregistry, but it was bought by GoDaddy. Previously I used Gandi, but they managed to destroy their reputation really quickly.
Is there any good registrar out there where I could move my domains to?
Uniregistry was really great, I wish GoDaddy didn't buy them.

- teddyh 4y agoLike I frequently¹ advise²: Don’t look to large, well-known registrars. I would suggest that you look for local registrars in your area. The TLD registry for your country/area usually has a list of the authorized registrars, so you can simply search that for entities with a local address. Disclaimer: I work at such a small registrar, but you are not in our target market. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32095499 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32095499 2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32507784 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32507784

- 4ad 4y ago> Cloudflare Registrar is only available for customers that use Cloudflare as their authoritative DNS provider (also known as a full setup). No thanks.
- rendaw 4y agoI did the dance at the last Gandi article. There's one answer: Dnsimple ($60/year). Cloudflare doesn't allow you to point NS elsewhere, which sucks if you're moving stuff. Porkbun died on symbols in my password (figured it out via trial and error) and their marketing is kind of juvenile. realtimeregister exposed my personal info. I think OVH might also support 2FA but I didn't try them. I don't think there's any others that allow security token 2FA.
- 4ad 4y agoThanks for the recommendation, but it's extremely expensive just for domain registration. I have about 50 domains, and I run my own DNS, so I wouldn't make use of their DNS solution anyway.
- rendaw 3y agoI mean, I agree. But at this point I just didn't want to deal with sketchy providers any more, so $60 it is.
