For those looking for a CF alternative, I have my .dev at Porkbun and am happy with them.

I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I have such a hard time getting past this company's name.

  Well if the name's annoying you, the dejigamaflip button will make you toss the book in the bin for sure.

    ...it actually exists! > DEJIGAMAFLIPPER: Sometimes, you just got to put your domain down, dejigamaflip it, and reverse it. but, the hell does it do?

      It pops up a dialog box that you've successfully dejigamaflipped your domain.

  What's wrong with the name? It doesn't seem any sillier than "GoDaddy" or "Google".

Same. Porkbun has been wonderful. I’m just hoping that one day I can move my .mx domains over.

I'm in the process of moving my domains to Porkbun. Of course, I was leaning on the included mail forwards that Google provided, so that part has been fun.

  Trying to remember why I registered with Google in the first place... I guess it was only that they had the .dev? Nothing really else there. Mail fwds over at porkbun no problem

    Same for me. At the time I got my .dev's I'm pretty sure only Google Domains sold them. I moved to porkbun now as well.

    Only Google sold them for a long time.

Worth noting that Porkbun still uses CF for the actual DNS nowadays: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/4602/porkbun-ns-moving-to-cloudflare https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/4602/porkbun-ns-moving-t...

  If you use their nameservers, yes. If you just use them as a registrar and have your own nameservers, then Cloudflare is not involved.

I've used them for several years now (for the odd TLDs that CF doesn't support) and can also recommend them.

I've seen a lot about porkbun lately and they somehow seem to be the de facto option among HN folks. Currently I am thinking of focusing on AWS route 53 domains under the assumption that there is always a non-zero chance of needing something else on AWS so it reduces the number of accounts/IAM (either 1 or 0 versus guaranteed 1). Anyone have their favorite reasons to go with porkbun instead?
