What about DNS buying/hosting? Seems it's not mentioned (neither is emailing besides transactional/marketing). I'm currently on DNSimple but been trying to replace it with some closer to home (Europe) alternative that still offers the same level of possible automation as DNSimple does, anyone know of any that fits the bill?

Bunny.net is based in Europe

It's not European, rather a New Zealand company but I find https://zonomi.com/ https://zonomi.com/ pretty good. There's a Lego resolver that works fine https://github.com/go-acme/lego https://github.com/go-acme/lego - although my only complaint is the DNS propagation takes a while though I suspect that's a my config problem (dig will show the txt record long before Lego sees it)

  Wow, I'd never heard of Zonomi, or RimuHosting (which appears to be the parent company). Data centers in NZ & Oz & UK & Germany, and the website gives me the vibe of those customer focused companies of the late 90s / early 2000s, probably because they started in 2002. Pricing is a little more than I'd like, but I'm just pleased to see alternatives like this in Oceania. Thanks for sharing! Bookmarked immediately.

    I've used their (same family of company) email hosting services lightly in the past and found that to work well also. For the DNS I'm paying like $1 a month which is probably more than it needs to be, but sufficiently low that I'm happy to support small/local business. I'm also reasonably confident I could get a response if anything ever goes wrong, untested as nothing has so far.

ClouDNS is probably the most popular one.

OVH is one of the cheapest and works satisfactorily for me. I went back to OVH when Gandi stopped being a recommendable company. OVH's API allows full control of an account, but I don't know how that compares to DNSimple.

  When and why did Gandi stop being recommendable?

    they got acquired in 2023, prices went up and the free mailboxes turned into a monthly fee

I've just been moving some domains of cloudflare. I moved some to hetzner dns (works fine). Then i got recomended deSEC which is it's own open source project. But for one domain i needed CNAME for apex (or ANAME/ALIAS record) so that i moved to bunny.net. I think Bunny is pretty good replacement for many features of cloudflare.
