With Gandi hiking their prices and doing some shady stuff on top of that, I'm on the lookout for a new domain registrar.

So far, the alternatives I've checked out are:

  • Porkbun: solid, but limited list of TLD's, missing a few I need
  • Cloudflare: cheapest, easy to use platform, but they require you to set them up as authoritative DNS provider, which I'm not ok with.
  • NameCheap: mixed reviews, not so cheap anymore

It seems quite hard to find a decent, no-BS registrar with ok prices. What are your recommendations?

Bonus cookie points:

  • privacy-focused
  • EU-based
  • supports less popular country TLD's (e.g. .ro)

Namecheap is still good, and honestly very well priced. The main issue is that they don't support automated DNS verification for things like let's encrypt certbot.

This is because they make money selling SSL certs.

If you can live without wildcard certs, or are willing to update them manually, it's fine.
