Goddamnit, I just moved everything to Namecheap to avoid more outages. Anyone have other recommendations in the event of the likely private equity rot?

- ectospheno 1y agoIf all you care about is avoiding outages and price then it is hard to beat cloudflare.
- paranoidrobot 1y agoiirc Cloudflare doesn't act like a normal registrar, however. You cannot use anyone except Cloudflare for your DNS provider.
- tensor 1y agoI've been using Gandi for years and recently have been consolidating things there. In the past I've used Google and still have some stuff and Namecheap too. Gandi is a little more expensive, but are consistently excellent. Especially now with their new UX and org support, it's super easy to manage domains from both corporate and personal accounts with one login.
- jsheard 1y agoGandi was also bought out by private equity a few years ago, as far as I know their service is still fine but they keep raising their prices without any rhyme or reason. They want $38 to renew a .com now, and despite those price hikes they also rugpulled users of their previously-included email service by turning it into a paid add-on. Look forward to Namecheap heading the same way in a few years!
- tensor 1y agoOh yeah? Dammit, I must have missed that news. That sucks. :-(
- steventruong 1y agoI’m happy with Porkbun.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoLooks like easyDNS was recommended.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoLooks like easyDNS and Porkbun are recommended. (May have to test the waters at each.)
