What's a good alternative registrar based in the EU?
What an unethical move, they rescind already paid contracts/accounts and the price hike is insane. The went from "no BS" to full of it.
I intend to move all my domains. I also paid for the "premium" email service. But it went from 25€ per year to 86€ ! Domains are also getting a price hike and web hosting too. Time to move
- dna_polymerase 3y agoI keep recommending iwantmyname, which is not Europe-based (NZ actually), but founded by some guys from Austria. I've been a customer for ten years now, and I haven't seen a nasty ReactJS redesign, or any other BS. Just a good registrar.
- KomoD 3y agoWhat makes it worth the price? $19.99/yr for a .com is very expensive.
- tga 3y agoThey have really high prices for some TLDs for some reason. A .re domain is €14.28 with Gandi and €43.99 with iwantmyname.
- seszett 3y agoiwantmyname seems to be more expensive than Gandi, even after the price hike though.
- demurgos 3y agoI've been using OVH for over 10 years and I'm pretty happy with them.
- pzduniak 3y agoBe wary of their support. Their services are hit or miss (and the misses are REALLY bad) and I experience complete incompetence on their side in both CA and PL.
- OoooooooO 3y agoI use www.inwx.de for years. Nothing to complain.
- TonyTrapp 3y agoAnother happy INWX user for 15+ years.
- codethief 3y agoAnd another one, for 18 years.
- _cenw 3y agoThey once gave my data to law enforcement without notifying me, with no obligations not to notify me. It wasn't even an investigation into me, but a shotgun "everyone who talked about this gets asked to testify" case, specifically into a Witcher 3 Google Drive leak. That aside, they're fine.
- huggingmouth 3y agoThat's enough for me to avoid this registrar for life. When registrars requires users to divulge their private information, they become bound to fight tooth and nail to protect it for as long as they retain it. Screw INWX for betraying their customers. Screw them.
- codethief 3y ago> They once gave my data to law enforcement without notifying me, with no obligations not to notify me. "Your data", like what? The domains you own and their full whois entries? > with no obligations not to notify me While this might be true, they might have seen a risk in notifying you (at least while investigations were ongoing), consider e.g. https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/258.html https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/258.html Also, how did you come to know about all this? Who notified you in the end?
- jerheinze 3y agoBookMyName.com, just look at their interface! ;)
- zhte415 3y agoFrom the about page [1] they're Scaleway. Perhaps worth looking into! [1] https://www.bookmyname.com/qsm.cgi https://www.bookmyname.com/qsm.cgi
- rogual 3y agoWas about to recommend Freethought [1] until I remembered we aren't in the EU any more. [1] https://freethought.uk/ https://freethought.uk/

- pinebox 3y agoI'm moving to netim.com which is another French registrar. They run their own email and seem to have a good reputation.
- akvadrako 3y agoI use eurodns.com since it supports a wide range or TLDs.
