    Hi All,

    I have around 30 domain names that i host with Gandi.net. I do like them, but they become expensive compare to Godaddy, name.com or namecheap

    Is there a company you recommand ? Which provider is the best quality price ratio in your opinion ?

          Cloudflare has extremely competitive pricing. But they don't support a lot of TLDs and can be criticized for centralizing the web. That being said I'm pretty happy with it.

            I'm still happily with Gandi myself.

            Despite having sold themselves they seem to mostly be sticking to their eariler No Bullshit philosophy.

            They also support .coop which lots of registrars still don't seem to despite it existing for over 20 years.

              Porkbun, namesilo, dynodot, spaceship, and namecheap,

                      They sound nice. But I wonder who they use? 🤷

                      We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield.

                      When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.

                          I keep my domains with a Polish service provider - Domeny.tv
                          They recently launched a global site - Let's Domains with USD, GBP or EUR currencies. There is also an option to buy .coop domains

                            Is there a reason not to use the cheapest option? Once you set up the nameservers to your server, aren't you basically done with whatever company you choose?

                            I use porkbun for that reason - they are cheap.

                                Some reasons i consider are :
                                1- Is the company is strong enought to last, so i don't have to change every year
                                2- The price
                                3- Reseller / auction service to buy / sell domain is nice to have

                                  Personally I'd add stuff about their values and ethics too. Do they care about free software/ open source, privacy, freedom of expression and the climate emergency? That sort of thing.

                                  Hence why https://www.freethought.uk/ that @avatar1024 mentioned are interesting.

                                  And in their own but different way, people like https://1984.hosting/ too. And I guess that's why @mononym likes https://njal.la/ too (e.g. due to their concern about privacy)

                                  And also why Gandi's No Bullshit stuff is good.

                                  I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                                    I use OVHcloud as it’s one of the few that invoice in my local currency, so it helps with exchange rates. With the low Canadian dollar against the USD, it’s even more helpful in helping me money. Plus it has a nice feature of allowing zone file editing directly.

                                      I have namecheap for well over a decade, never had a single issue, once when I accidentally allowed a domain to lapse they recovered it quickly for me.

                                        Hi @jrl-abstract27, what has been your decision? Are you sticking with Gandi, or trying another (please not gd).

                                          Definitely Cloudflare if .com, .net etc... Can't beat their pricing! For other domain extensions, Namesilo.
