Should I switch to Cloudflare?

My 'initial pain' was that the api access is locked for new users, there was a text like 'you need to have 50€ balance' or something strange restriction.

Ah, this is probably something new. We enabled is 3-4 years ago, when I guess they didn't have this restriction. Good to know they are friendly and enable it.

Same here, which was why I was confused. Btw, I may code another registrar integration for Cloudron down the road (2021), if you'll let me, I don't know how modular that part of the code is.

That's quite easy. Just have to fill up the interface.js - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/tree/master/src/dns

NameSilo

Not heard of them before, and kinda tired of transferring so many domains over the years but if you recommend I might find time.

Seem to be a little cheaper? Anything else?

A little cheaper, the developers work with me directly when I need a new feature (they're slow, but I get to talk to their actual web developers). And their API is more fleshed out. Oh, but the reason I switched aside from them being cheaper was that Private Registry was Free and I really wanted that. At Namecheap it was like $5 per domain or something which adds up with 60 domains.

As always, thanks for the guidance. Bookmarked your post to come back to later! ️

So I guess if I want e.g. joker.com and 1984hosting.com to integrate I should just relay this info to them?

Yes, if they have an api, it's probably a day's work to integrate a dns provider.

I'm a bit late to the party but just want to say Cloudflare be damned. I use a VPN online and every site that has Cloudflare CDN blocks me out. Oh, and you can add Google Captcha to the naughty list.

@humptydumpty you can use their VPN.

@robi No thanks. I'm not going to feed the beast.
