Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.
I use porkbun.
The prices are similar to google domains and the dns management interface is ok.
I like their sense of humour. The definitely don’t take themselves too seriously.
Moved to Porkbun yesterday. No fuss, quick setup and pricing is good.
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.
Yeah, it’s just nice to consolidate where able.
I used porkbun with Cloudflare DNS, porkbun were cheaper for me than Google.

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.
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.
Namecheap has okay starting prices but man their renewal prices aren’t great compared to other registrars.
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.
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
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.
Namecheap
+1 been with Name heap for many years and have many domains worth them. Also very happy with their support.
Another +1 for namecheap here. Have a dozen or so domaions/projects with them.
Porkbun. I’ve been using it for about 4 years. Cheap and without errors
I’m using porkbun for my instance and it’s been great
my domain renewal was half google domain’s offering price+1 for pork bun! Everything is easy and cheap. I don’t really ask for much more from a registrar
+1 for porkbun. I haven’t compared the prices carefully, but I really enjoyed their convenience. I have very little knowledge about that stuff, but I had no trouble using porkbun tools
I’ve been using nearlyfreespeech.net for (looks) 14 years now. Their business aligns with my ideals and I’ve always been happy with their service.
Cloudflare, the prices are just right, and the features they offer are hard to beat.
I use Namecheap personally. I really like it.
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.
Similarly, I use Vercel because that’s where I usually run other stuff anyway!
Same here (love Pages and Workers). Just wish their support for top level country domains (particularly .be for me).
I have most of my domains on Google, but also have a couple on CloudFlare. I suppose I will just move them all to CloudFlare. They offer free WHOIS privacy and several other features for free. For those of you self hosting on a dynamic IP, there’s a pretty good API that you can use for DNS updates.
I found Cloudflare don’t have nearly as many top level domains as Google so I couldn’t transfer to them, but porkbun did.
I only have com/net/org domains, so I never noticed that. But you’ve provided good information. There is a list of CloudFlare supported TLD’s here https://www.cloudflare.com/tld-policies/
