      They sure as fuck did it in 2007. My name dot com is still parked.

    Been a happy namecheap.com user for a few years now and no issues.

    Their UI is a little clunky at times but for something I use every now and again it’s not an issue.

    I have moved all my domains to Porkbun.

    They are nearly always the cheapest when I compare, and they offer a good service.

    I’ve been using Hover for years with no issues. I moved there years back when the godaddy fiasco happened.

      They seem fine, but the lack of technical details is a bit concerning… Do you know if they support dnssec?

    Migrated most of mine from Namecheap to https://domains.google/ . Nice DNS UI, consolidated billing, not much upsell to other products. Guess there is some risk to getting locked out of email and the domain in one shot.

      Google sold their registrar to Squarespace like two weeks ago. OP is likely looking to move from Google Domains to a different registrar.

    I’ve had great luck with AWS. Route 53 is smooth and it’s one stop for everything if you want.

    Not all TLDs (gTLDs, ccTLDs) are available at all registrars, so I use a mixture of NameSilo, Porkbun and Zone.eu (zone.ee same thing). Zone.eu/.ee is like “the Porkbun of EU” (kinda, not really) and they have some of the cheapest registrations for EU ccTLDs. If a ccTLD requires proof of identity if you’re a foreigner, Zone accepts a verified PayPal account as sufficient documentation.

    I use Porkbun, but this is largely because I like the little cartoon pig, and I’m familiar with the UI.

    Generally you should just check for the best deal for the particular domain, and then remove any particularly terrible providers from the results.

    Personally, I use NameCheap and I’ve never had an issue. I’ve read good things about PorkBun.

    if you don’t mind pay a bit more, then i highly recommend name.com they have been in the business since ages.
