Ask HN: Where are you moving your Google domains to?

14 points by platzhirsch 3y ago

If you migrate them, to which domain name registrar are you moving them?

I’m considering Google Cloud Domains (watch as that gets announced as moving to Squarespace too in a week) or porkbun. Either way I want to make sure my account gets shut down and nothing gets ported over so I have one less SOC2 vendor to manage.

I am planning to move on AWS using route 53 and some programming. Also considering cloudflare as well. To all the responders here, can you list out the reasons on not moving to Route 53?

  I put my DNS on Route53 since it makes things like cert management and record creation (via CDK) a breeze but I keep my domains on a different registrar (Namecheap, not a vote for or against them, just who I’ve used for a long time). Mainly to not have all my eggs in one basket though all but 1 egg doesn’t really save you. At a minimum I could switch the DNS to a static page explaining downtime if something happened to AWS/my account.

I’ve been using Dynadot for several years, so far it has worked out well.

I actually moved mine to Cloudflare in anticipation of Google domains shutting down about a year ago. Still surprised I predicted correctly.

Cloudflare and Porkbun.

I moved all my domains from google domains -> CloudFlare a few years ago. I haven’t had any issues other than CloudFlare is missing support for some tlds, mainly “.dev”

  I think it’s still the case that you have to use Cloudflare’s nameservers, is that right? I’m considering moving domains from Gandi but it would be a lot easier if I could just point at the nameservers I’m currently using on Route 53.

What happens if we don’t move them?
matt34 3y ago
Moving over to cloudflare where I already do most DNS stuff.
graybies 3y ago
most likely porkbun because they support .dev
