I’ve been on namecheap for a long time. They have a sale going on now. But they are really good, hardly ever a problem and if there is, their customer service is stellar.

Namecheap has been fine for me so far. Avoid godaddy.

European folks try EUKhost. Been good for me the last few years.

I have had a really good experience with Porkbun. You could also use Cloudflare. But since this is going to be work-related, Cloudflare all of the way.

I have one (including hosting) at a local German provider and one (dynamic DNS based forwarding to my homelab) at another German provider.

Both are in the market for 20+ years and neither of them had any controversies or major issues.

I use Google Domains, but I believe they're either getting rid of it or selling it off.

I may have misheard it but arent they already? I believe Linus anf Luke from LTT talked about it on the WAN show

Not too sure-- I remember receiving emails for my accounts-- but I just checked domains and it's still up, allowing you to purchase more.

That will probably end like Stadia. One team in the works of producing a game while management is already deciding how to close down the project...

cough https://killedbygoogle.com/ and https://9to5google.com/2023/06/15/google-domains-squarespace/ * cough*
And yep Google Domains is on the guillotine. Better secure it quickly.

Cloudflare registrar or Porkbun are my goto's. Keep in mind that Cloudflare registrar currently requires you to use their (free) DNS service, you can't change the nameservers yet.

Namecheap and Namesilo are both good.

I use porkbun since they take crypto as payment

Good to know. They didn't accept an mc gift card
