It looks like it’s time to “shop around”. What registrar are you guys using?
I haven’t really shopped around in a while, I just use the gandi forwarding rather than hosting mail, so the changes haven’t hit me yet. I hear porkbun.com is pretty good. They don’t offer free email but they do have cheap email hosting and apparently the cheapest prices for registering a domain.
Cloudflare offers registration of most domains at their wholesale cost.
I use INWX. Prices are very cheap and their DNS supports most of the record-types available, which I didn‘t have at some of the registrars I was at before.
How does the INWX DNS edit look like? In their docs I saw they offer a table where you can edit records one by one, using their predefined form. Do they also offer a way to edit all records at once as text?
I like Cloudflare’s registrar a lot. Zero BS and great integration with the other services I’m already using.
Yeah, that’s a solid choice! I’ve used their proxy service and was pretty solid.
I think I will stop using Gandi. They are too expensive and don’t provide much value compared to other registrars.
The price for the TLD of my custom domain doubled. With the new prices, it’s cheaper for me to get the domain at OVH (cheaper than Gandi’s previous price) and mailboxes at mailbox.org, than the domain alone at Gandi.
Yeah, I was registering my domains there because they are in Europe and had some extra services, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere now
They’re not even trying to pretend they offer competitive domain prices anymore. Last time I renewed the prices for the 5 TLD’s I use varied $15-22, this year they’re all $30. That’s a 75-100% increase accross the board.
