Requirements:
- Domain registration (duh)
- Privacy.
- DNS included.
- Preferably based in the EU, but it’s not a hard requirement
Porkbun! But US based too
Great point, I’m with porkbun til late October but plan to move to a non US register
Is Cloudflare an option?
Cloudflare is American.
Cross post this to [email protected]. They will likely have good answers too.
Porkbun, AWS, cloudflare, and namecheap are commonly suggested.
Take a look at metaname. They offer a very minimal (read: unencumbered) service, and are based in New Zealand. Not the EU, but at least it’s not the US.
Nukeproof domain name
It’s Canadian but I use EasyDNS which has operated here forever. It’s privately owned by a Mark Jeftovic who’s fairly well known as an internet advocate / policy expert and ran as a candidate for the Libertarian Party of Canada, so is privacy focused.
Hetzner is pretty good for that and EU based.
Switzerland and privacy sadly no longer checks out.
Oh no, what happened in Switzerland?
Been happy with porkbun.
Same, just noting that they weren’t a default option in my ddns plugin. I’m sure that’s changed since 2023?
I don’t use Porkbun for DNS, I also don’t use ddns, for that matter, so I wouldn’t know.
Absolute zero issues with netcup (EU/de). Also comparatively cheap usually, and has frequent sales (always the same offers, afaict).
DNS is included with Domains, but I’m using desec.io as my DNS mainly for full dnssec compliance (free, de based, if registrations are open, works with certbot DNS challenge for letsencrypt).
GoDaddy has been a joke of a company for decades now.
What pissed you off about GoDaddy?
I’m surprised you held out this long! GoDaddy has had waves of stressing, and departures in correlative droves.
You show remarkable resilience and you can be proud of that.
I use Mythic Beasts
Godaddy is what I say when I throw my Pokéball to summon Incineroar.
☹️
