Domain registrar (lemmy.one)
submitted 2 years ago by nonmi9@lemmy.one to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.

I just transferred all my domains out of Namecheap into Porkbun. I think Porkbun is 10 to 50 cents more expensive than Cloudflare, but they seemed a bit easier to use and could hold all my TLDs. So far, a way better experience than Namecheap!

I use porkbun.

The prices are similar to google domains and the dns management interface is ok.

Been using porkbun as the registrar and cloudflare for Dns, no complaints. I like the cloudflare interface better and like having Dns and registrar separate.

Do they have dyndns support? That was what led me to google.

Keep in mind you can always use a different DNS provider who does support dynamic dns. For example you could use cloudflare (free) with a domain bought from Pork Bun.

I'm probably gonna go cloudflare because that's what I've had the best experience with besides Google Domains

I use cloudflare. its really good, plus it includes a tunnel.

I use Hover… it’s weird no one else does. Should I be moving off?

Never heard of them, but just looking at a registrar comparison chart, their renewal costs are pretty high. eg. $20 for .wiki renewal at Porkbun and $30 at Hover. Maybe they bundle in a lot of services along with it that make the price worth it? but unless you're taking full advantage of those (if they're offered) then you could def get a better deal elsewhere.

I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They're a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.

They were close to Gandi pricing. Gandi just hiked up their prices on most TLDs by 75-100%. For my next renewal all my domains show up as €28 now. Netim is actualy looking pretty good right now with €15-22. 😆
