Ask HN: What domain registration and DNS service do you use?
I love using Digital Ocean and Heroku for my websites. Clean designs, straightforward navigation and functionality, affordable.
And then you have domain registrars like GoDaddy, Domain.com and others that are the exact opposite (except cheap).
Is there a domain registrar that doesn't severely suck the life out of creating a new domain? Something that has an easy to use API, clean and modern?
- niclupien 13y agoNamecheap works well. They have an API but I never used it.
- kkoch986 13y agoI'm up to about 12 domains on namecheap, can't complain
- d0ugie 13y agoDo they have a good deal on SSL certs when buying or transferring domains? the certs are good, yes?
- gesman 13y agoI used namecheap and buy SSL certs, including wildcarded SSL certs. I think they have the best prices for that. SSL certificate cost is a scam anyways - so you better off with whoever is the cheapest.
- niclupien 13y agoYes they do, when I purchase a domain they give a SSL cert for 2$ for 1 year. That's kind of a no brainer for me.

- ekpyrotic 13y agoA Small Orange (http://asmallorange.com http://asmallorange.com). Simple, clean & top-quality support. Used them for 2 years now - and it's been a pleasure.
- chrxn 13y agoI may be wrong, but this company seems to only offer hosting services. I see no domain name registration services offered.
- workhere-io 13y agohttps://gandi.net https://gandi.net / http://doc.rpc.gandi.net http://doc.rpc.gandi.net. For DNS I sometimes use AWS' Route 53 because it provides some unique options regarding S3 and CloudFront.
- RexRollman 13y agoI used Gandi for my domains for the last six years. They been great, but since I've never had an issue, I can't say how good their customer service is.

- pairing 13y agoI've been using Name (http://name.com http://name.com) for a few years now and I've been happy with their services. They also have two factor auth for accessing your account which is a huge plus.
