Since Google Domains is shutting down, I am looking for a new place to transfer my domains. What are others using for domain registration?

      Seconded. I have multiple domains on name cheap, and manage those domains with cloud flare. Even my self-hosted stuff at home. Especially my self-hosted stuff at home. Maybe google wouldn’t notice a ddos, but my shitty spectrum internet sure would.

    Current favorite and where most of my domains reside is Porkbun. Secondary choice would be cloudflare.

      I’ve been happy with Gandi but their future looks bleak. Gandi was bought by Total Webhosting Solutions/now your.online a couple of months back, which is pretty bad news. They’ve been purchasing Dutch companies and increasing prices while letting their services turn to shit for a while now. The raised prices came in a few weeks ago, we’ve yet to see the services turn to shit but I am extremely confident it will happen.

      Gandi is just the first international purchase by TWS, so not many people know it, and there are few relevant references on the English-speaking web as most of this was localized to the Netherlands. You’d have to search on Dutch tech news sources like tweakers.net and use some translation tool to find anything meaningful.

        Ah that’s disappointing, I’ve been a pretty happy (occasional) user for years. Enshittification hits everything eventually :(

    my go-to for anything they support is porkbun: they’re cheap, reliable, and technically competent

    for backup for domains they don’t cover, 101domain has a huge selection

    for actual DNS hosting, i use cloudflare (migrating from dnsimple) but also wouldn’t be against route53

      I’ve been using namecheap for years and redirect DNS through cloudflare. I think my yearly renewal is around $25. I’ve been thinking of transferring to cloudflare, but their pricing model is really expensive for their other products and don’t really want to feel pigeonholed if my price gets inflated above what I already pay.

    Lately I’ve been registering domains directly at Cloudflare. If you’re a Cloudflare user anyway then it’s super convenient!

    The only downside is that they don’t support less popular TLDs (yet).

    Namesilo. Genuinely cheap, and fantastic service every time I’ve needed to ask something. Plus: free privacy!

      +1 for namesilo Website is absolutely barebones, but it does everything I need including allowing api access for dns challenges from let’s encrypt.

    I use 101domain.com

    They’re not always the cheapest option but they seem to support a lot of TLDs and their customer support is always fast and staffed by actual humans.

    am a fan of Namecheap.They have lots of exotic domains. Domains are easy to manage, free domain privacy but their support is really slow and a bit incompetent.

    For local domains, like: .UK, .US, .DE, I register there locally. Thus making sure that all my service providers are capable if handling the local privacy laws.

    For DNS I use cloudflare.
