What do you use for a domain registrar? (feddit.nl)

Since Google Domains is shutting down, I am looking for a new place to transfer my domains. What are others using for domain registration?

I like gandi.net. Their UI is pretty inoffensive.

I've been happy with Gandi but their future looks bleak. Gandi was bought by Total Webhosting Solutions/now your.online a couple of months back, which is pretty bad news. They've been purchasing Dutch companies and increasing prices while letting their services turn to shit for a while now. The raised prices came in a few weeks ago, we've yet to see the services turn to shit but I am extremely confident it will happen.

Gandi is just the first international purchase by TWS, so not many people know it, and there are few relevant references on the English-speaking web as most of this was localized to the Netherlands. You'd have to search on Dutch tech news sources like tweakers.net and use some translation tool to find anything meaningful.

Ah that's disappointing, I've been a pretty happy (occasional) user for years. Enshittification hits everything eventually :(

Recently their prices have skyrocketed, Gandi are now poor value for money.

Oh really? That's a shame. Do you have a better alternative?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The majority of my domains were with Gandi, they're now with Porkbun.

Also, check out this link for prices/offers, etc:
