With Google Domains shutting down, where else are people hosting their domains? Used Namecheap and Godaddy before but both are bad. Vercel?
I’ve used Pair Domains for 24 years… works well for me. Unfortunately my only domain at Google is also a Workspace domain so I can’t be bothered to try moving it and figuring out a all the custom DNS I need to set. Too afraid to mess up my custom Gmail, hosting, etc.
I've used hover.com for years. It's pretty good.
I’m just rolling with the Squarespace transition for now…
i’m just buying the domains using Google Cloud Domains and using Cloud DNS
WordPress has a limited-time offer that I have been using to register my domains https://wordpress.com/transfer-google-domains/
I like how no one is suggesting web3 solutions. 😳 Not a dev, but isn’t that what ipfs.tech + end.domains is for? I’ve even seen an NFT (Heavens Tool) that gives you access to a site builder. I’m sure there’s free stuff now somewhere.
I have mine in Vercel because I like having everything consolidated, but they don’t support DNSSEC which is kind of annoying
I have some domains on Google & others on porkbun.com — so I guess I’ll just transfer the others to there for the time being… Not exactly happy about them shutting down & selling to squarespace.
I’ve used Gandi.net for a long time and it has been pretty good. Sometimes more expensive though.
Vercel's UX is very sleek, but they charge extra some of my domains are Vercel, some on hover dot com
I'm a big fan of Name.com. I've been using them for years, and they've always had exceptional customer service.
Gandi, AWS, Vercel and Cloudflare are my options. Each of them with their own good/bad things. For example, vercel does not support ENS :_(
Cloudflare. Just migrated from Namecheap since they were going to extort me for the renewal. I usually do my first year with Namecheap and transfer after the promo rate
I reluctantly still use godaddy. It works but I wouldn't recommend it. I would recommend cloudflare.
https://spaceship.com has epic UX, porkbun usually cheapest
I buy with Namecheap then manage DNS with Vercel — Vercel makes it so easy and I have like 7 domains with my free Vercel account
using netcup.de as we are based in Germany and they are too
No complaints about DNSimple. Was very easy to migrate over from Google Domains (which I did a long time ago because I actually hated the product)
Porkbun, managed in Netlify, but soon on Cloudflare most likely.
fwiw OG Derek Sivers just pointed everyone at Porkbun here https://sive.rs/ti#register Registered a tiny domain with them to try them out over the weekend and got a kick out of their sense of humor. Many good years with Dreamhost otherwise. Had given one domain to GDomains last year, just in time to bail now lol
I’ve been using a combination of Hover and Cloudflare for years.
Whats wrong with Namecheap? I register all mine there and it's been good. When I need higher performance, I point the domains to a DNS Made Easy account but still keep them registered on Namecheap.
I use enom and Namecheap predominantly. Usually pointing to cloudflare or route53 dns.
Like others in the replies, I'm a big fan of Cloudflare! Pros: - Usually the cheapest - Wild-card email routing/forwarding - Cloudflare pages is pretty good Cons: - Can't override nameservers
Route 53 AWS Can’t justify any reason why except I feel confident they aren’t pulling the plug on me. I also own less than 5 so really not a frequent user
ik this is an old post but i don't think anyone mentioned Dynadot they are my favorite registrar out of all the ones I use (signed up to 10+ registrars) solid customer service too
