Favorite domain provider?

[Cpvr]

What domain provider do you use? How long have you been using them?

I’ve been using Namecheap since 2004 and its my preferred domain provider. What about you?

I use Namecheap as well. I used to use GoDaddy way back in the day, but I've heard so much negative criticism about them these days. Namecheap is also the domain registrar that the forum software I use recommends.

I use namecheap, but i have some domains on cloudflare, since they sell at cost.

I have a few with Godaddy, and a couple from my hosting company.

I used to use Google Domains until they sold out to Squarespace. I moved most of the domains over to Namecheap. I use HE DNS for the DNS for the sites.

I win auctions and they go into NameBright or other registrars like GoDaddy, but I'll eventually consolidate them into Dynadot because of their Bulk and Super Bulk discount pricing. High security to protect my valuable domains too ($XXXX~ purchases).

Typically, I'll consolidate when they have transfer promotions of like $8 to save even more, and extend the expiration date by a year, if they land in other registrar accounts from aftermarket purchases, Escrow transfers, or other means like expired or dropped domain auctions. That is, unless I paid in excess of $1000 for the name, then I'll immediately transfer it to Dynadot once the transfer lock is removed.

Their prices are a bit higher, even with Bulk discounts. However, if you follow their promo codes and sales (like Black Friday), you can time renewal pricing to be essentially equal to the rest. And, greater peace of mind with security.

I probably should consolidate; I have some stuff on 1&1 (well, Ionos now) and some on Namecheap, pretty sure Namecheap's prices are lower at this point.

I do also own a few .ly domains which you're pretty much only getting from register.ly.

Been a Hover customer for over a decade now. Decent pricing and never had any issues with them either. I do have a domain over on Namecheap as it was the lowest price at the time, I might bring it over to Hover sometime in the future though. I like to consolidate things, which makes organizing better.

I have found that Namecheap has been the best place for me to use for my domains. I used to use GoDaddy but since moving to Namecheap, haven't wanted to use anywhere else.

I've used DreamHost for over 15 years.

I use it for my domain registration and my VPS.
