OK, who can recommend a domain name registrar that:- Is boring and dependable and has a rock solid track record- Has a really good UI, including on mobile- Supports as many TLDs as possible - Isn't likely to get acquired by someone else- Ideally supports multiple payment methods as insurance against accidental card expiry I'd settled on Google Domains... but they just sold themselves to Squarespace! https://9to5google.com/2023/06/15/google-domains-squarespace/

@simon I’ve been using Hover for a long time and it’s barely changed at all. I like it. The UI is fine, not amazing, but works.I hear good things about Gandi and Namecheap too but I haven’t tried them.All of the above seem to be incredibly stable.

@simon currently using NameCheap because when my previous registrar screwed up, they were strongly supporting the EFF. Been happy since then. Oddly, I didn't note the "when" on my blog, but at a guess I've been with them for a decade.

@simon I used to use Namecheap, but they started not being cheap, so moved everything to Dynadot.com 5 years ago. Been super happy with them, have good prices, and seem to fit everything you mentioned: have over a dozen payment options, support all the TLDs I've looked at, manage over 4.5MM domains and explicitly say "no plans to go public or become acquired by a faceless corporation."

@simon the opposite of an endorsement: be careful with NameCheap. They’re playing fast and loose with domain cancellations. A tweet about some "suspicious traffic" gets your domain deleted quickly. Also, for a domain registrar, they can be pretty political after suspending all Russian customers last year. Nothing wrong with the suspension itself, but IMO a domain registrar shouldn’t be too politically involved.

@simon I still use NameCheap (but was preferring Google Domains for new registrations and recommending). They are doing more upsells but have been solid for decades. We have a reseller account for @fission at Hexonet https://www.hexonet.net/I need to look at it carefully, we may be able to open up sub accounts.

@simon Namecheap for me - that said I've transferred most of mine to Cloudflare once I'm happy I'm keeping them longterm. I just took advantage of a cheap domain deal from https://www.spaceship.com/ too who seem quite good so far - I think they piggy back Namecheap tho so might not last long?

@simon I am still quite happy with hover.com .. no annoying ads or promotions.. just lets me take care of my domains (all 39 of them). Biggest problem is likely that I am not sure that they support having multiple payment methods. I have never tried (I set it up with ApplePay).Oh, and apparently there is a referral link - https://hover.com/JpP2KUyPThey are run by Tucows.

@simon All of my domains are registered with gandi.net ; it hits your stable and unlikely to be sold criteria, as well as the multiple ways to pay as a backup. The UI is better than most. My colleague loves porkbun.com-- better user experience for sure, but I cannot personally attest to its longevity.

@simon I’ve been using hover for years and I like them a lot. Porkbun is a new one so they don’t have longevity, but they’ve got pretty good features, are easy to use, and their prices are like 10-25% lower. If those lower prices are sustainable and the company sticks around, I might move. I just have one domain with them for now.

@simon oh ffs, that sucks, I literally just moved a domain to Google two weeks ago. I mostly use porkbun, but they don’t support some TLDs (I like them, but don’t think they really tick your UI box, if nothing else)

@simon may or may not be what you’re looking for, but AWS meets those needs for me.

@simon multiple payment methods aside, I have had my payment method with them expire and I got an email that renewal did not work due to payment.. updated the info and moved on. You can also set up an account balance that is used for all renewals, and if that reaches $0.00 they will then use your default payment method. See: https://help.hover.com/hc/en-us/articles/217282297-Managing-payments#h_01c96997-dbe5-4b41-9ce3-ba8f8e65eeed

@scanner yeah, I'm looking for something to help reassure people (me) who can't keep on top of their email!

@simon I buy my domains on Hover.com, though I don't know about a mobile UI.Then I host/serve them from LuaDns.com - which gets the updates from a github notification (so I have a full version history of my DNS changes and also some tests in the repo)

@simon I share your pain. I have been registering domains for 30+ years and have used almost every registrar mentioned in the replies (except porkbun, that was new to me! 🙂). 7 or 8 years ago I started moving most of mine to Google Domains for the reasons you mention. In the past 2 years, I started to move domains over to Cloudflare, as I became increasingly concerned about Google having too much data about me (and all of us). I have been very happy with CF so far.

@simon one option if you are good at budgeting and tasks is to keep a balance and remember to top it off on a schedule, like once a year.

@simon the one thing I liked about Google domains is they didn't over charge you an insane fee to keep your "whois" information private, that's a big requirement for me too!

@simon Hands down I’d recommend Hover. I used some mid-sized domain registrars and all turned into nightmares. Hover focusses on being highly competent at one thing and does it insanely well.

@simon How can you tell if a service is likely to be acquired by someone else? I would have put Google domains itself at the top of that list until I saw this announcement.

@simon I use inwx.com. Regarding payment they allow keeping money in your client account and are really good at reminding you way in advance a couple of times if there’s not enough money in the account to perform renewals, like over a month in advance. As I’m in Germany I usually pay them via bank transfer.

@simon 100% same as you. My current plan is to move all my domains to cloudflare and for all tlds that cloudflare doesn’t support yet to porkbun https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar/https://porkbun.com/#googledomains

@simon Hover. Have had zero issues with them in over a decade of using them. Literally zero. And the one time I had an issue with a *different* registrar, I transferred it to Hover, who fixed it. Mind, I only use them for registration (I keep DNS, registration, and hosting separate so I can change any of them at will without affecting the others), but they're excellent for that.Mobile UI is perfectly usable (nothing amazing, but does the job), including for DNS if you use them for that.
