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)

I’ve used NameCheap for about 5 years now and it’s alright. I don’t have to deal with them so much since I only have one domain and my setup is pretty simple.

Same. I've been using NameCheap for years. I have 3 or 4 domains for different things. I really just need a registrar to hold my names and DNS which rarely changes. My domains auto-renew every year and I barely have to think about it. They're fine for my needs, no complaints.
