I’ve been using namecheap. But not sure where they’re based.

American though.

Mostly their history of hoarding domain names and becoming too bug, but I moved some domains over to them a while back for the sake of simplicity. But after they have started to try and upsell me Ai generated web design I have started do dislike them even more, to the point where I’m looking to use some of me one else.

I feel like you might like joker.com

Feels like I’ve had domains there since the 90’s and their interface show it

You won’t get any ai slop and zero pressure from upsell with them.

When I complained about the kinda high expense of keeping all of my old joke domains, they actually suggested — just sign up as a reseller and it’s cheap and you don’t gotta do anything at all.

Porkbun, AWS, cloudflare, and namecheap are commonly suggested.

I do use infomaniak as well and can very much recommend them. Their support is first class and they do offer a bunch of other useful services (with which I‘m very satisfied as well).

Echoing the others who commented Porkbun, I’ve only ever had good experiences with them! They’re American though

Take a look at metaname. They offer a very minimal (read: unencumbered) service, and are based in New Zealand. Not the EU, but at least it’s not the US.

Namecheap is the best I’ve found, can’t see ever changing. The few times I needed support I got outstanding technical assistance. One case was wildly complicated, with the issue clearly on their back end, didn’t have much hope. Explained to a rep, on a late Friday night, she said OK and went offline for 10-minutes. FIXED.
Show threadpartial_accumenJun 4
Another vote for Namecheap. I also like they support their legacy pricing for hosting. Many years ago I subscribed to a small hosting plan for a very low price. I had need to set up yet another hosting plan and went looking for it. My preferred one had been discontinued 6 years prior and the new lowest on was a chunk more expensive (for my new hosting plan), but Namecheap still honors my old pricing for my original plan. So I currently subscribe to one “cheap” hosting plan and another “not quite as cheap”, and am quite fine with that.

Namecheap myself for 10ish years now. Never been unhappy

It’s Canadian but I use EasyDNS which has operated here forever. It’s privately owned by a Mark Jeftovic who’s fairly well known as an internet advocate / policy expert and ran as a candidate for the Libertarian Party of Canada, so is privacy focused.

Same, just noting that they weren’t a default option in my ddns plugin. I’m sure that’s changed since 2023?

I don’t use Porkbun for DNS, I also don’t use ddns, for that matter, so I wouldn’t know.

I’m surprised you held out this long! GoDaddy has had waves of stressing, and departures in correlative droves.

You show remarkable resilience and you can be proud of that.

I’ve never had problems with Squarespace since they took over registrations from Google Domains, which I used to use.

Cloudflare except I think they’re in the US.

Privacy is free. Domains are at cost. DNS is updatable via the webui and API as well.

Porkbun.

Decent API, good prices, not trash people.
