Hello Community, Im checking since days and comparing and after creating a big excel sheet with my domains and prices I figured out I’d like to transfer all my domains (46) to another Registrar. With my actual registrar I’d pay 1300€ renewal cost per year and with f.e. Porkbun it’ll be 860€. Even if I would split my domains between 5 different Registrars I could get down to 550€ per year, but this it to much work for me handling the different interfaces and updating all creditcard info and so on.

So, Porkbun is abbot recommendation here in the community. Namesilo (NOT Namecheap) and Blacknight are mostly unknown.

What do you think of Blacknight? Any experiences? What is with Namesilo compared to Porkbun? Do you see any showstopper or did you have any bad experiences? I like to „move and forget“.

I have no special requirements, just mx, A, AAAA, TXT, CNAME. All other stuff is optional and great

Best wishes to you :-)

Just as the title suggests, wondering everyones thoughts. I have a bunch of .com domains at ResellerClub and looking for a new home that supports privacy protection (free I hope), and dnsssec.

RC is simply not cutting it anymore and they do more and more unhandy shady stuff there. I pay a little less than $12/domain today.

I considered namecheap, but they seem to be getting pricey these days.

Hi, I think I'm ready to buy a domain name, while I have considered Google, I hear that is some wariness due to Google not being primarily a domain registrar.

(And is it true that it's better to have your domain separate from hosting for the most part?)

So I've heard good things from these three and was wondering which would you all consider the "best" based on features, support, and ease of use for managing a domain in 2020?

I am open to other recommendations.

Thank you for your time!

EDIT: Okay, at the moment, nothing is narrowed down but to my amusement, Google is now added to my list of options.

And I guess I should have reworded my title better to invite more responses to this generic question.

I've had all my domains with Namesilo and had almost no problems over the last 7 years, besides naked @ CNAME redirects annoyingly being not supported, but that's another story.

Now they've raised prices already third year in a row and by A LOT! Their .com is now an insane $17.29?! Years ago I chose them due to good privacy policy and having one of the cheapest prices, but ever since Brisio Innovations Inc. acquired them (another data point for a private equity firm ruining a perfectly run company), they've started increasing prices on everything by a lot!

It's almost $7 on top of what Verisign charges, and just last year it was only $13.95! 20% increase in one year is not to cover any inflation, it's to rack up cash fast before they kill the company!

I think I'm done with them.

Are there any Namesilo alternatives that you can recommend that support free Email and URL forwarding, and free WHOIS privacy, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

I see Porkbun has it all, and seemingly good reviews, but I don't know how legit they are. Maybe some of you had experience with them?

Maybe you have other alternatives?

Appreciate in advance any feedback, guys!

Hello!

I'm interested in a domain name registrar and I think I want it separate from a hosting service. I guess I'm wonder in your experience which is the best of these three in 2020 in regards to management, services, and prices.

I'm open to other recommendations!
