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

    I’ve been using Cloudflare for a while now, Namecheap before that. Both have been good to me, but I prefer Cloudflare more for their various other services, so it made sense to move the domains there as well.

      I just switched everything over to cloud flare the other day. I already ran most my services through them so it just made sense. The very next day Google sold their domain biz.

        Thanks for this comment, I hadn’t compared pricing in a while and just assumed Name”cheap” was cheap haha! Looks like I might switch to CloudFlare (where I manage DNS anyways) and/or porkbun which others have suggested.

    Namecheap. I’ve been using them for several years for various projects and have never had a problem with them.

      Same here. My only complaint was the slow adoption of hardware MFA tokens, and the limited DNSSEC support on some TLDs but that’s mostly resolved now.

    I have used NameCheap for a long time and they have been great. I use AWS Route53 and Cloudflare for some zone hosting and both of their domain registration services are fine but usually not the cheapest out there.

      I’m basically in the exact same boat. Used namecheap forever, and sometimes use route 53. They both work well

    Cloudflare for supported TLDs and Hover for the rest

    Cloudflare, the prices are just right, and the features they offer are hard to beat.

    Namecheap has been good so far. They even provides free DNS service when everyone was still charging for DNS. We have cloudflare now that provides better free DNS service, but for domain registrar I’m still loyal to namecheap.

      +1 for pork bun! Everything is easy and cheap. I don’t really ask for much more from a registrar

    I use primarily Hover, I want to like Cloudflare but I don’t like that they require using Cloudflare’s nameservers in order to use the registrar.

    I use cloudflare since that’s where I run other stuff anyway (static site builds, edge functions, etc.)

      Same here. Great prices and I like having it all in one spot.

      Same here (love Pages and Workers). Just wish their support for top level country domains (particularly .be for me).

      Similarly, I use Vercel because that’s where I usually run other stuff anyway!
