Is it one that you just use and works just fine? Or one that has proven to be reliable and responsible if they do a mistake and only want to satisfy you as a customer?

AWS Route53. Lets me keep all my domains in one place. If Cloudflare did .au I’d switch to that.

a domain name and vps are two different things?

I used Namecheap for several years and was happy with it, but the numerous price increases finally pushed me to switch. I recently decided on Porkbun after the many positive reviews I read online. It is affordable and has a very clean interface that doesn’t constantly nag me about purchasing other services. I’m really liking it so far.
Not Gandi. They were very reliable since the beginning of the internet but they sold the company and went downhill since.
I’m thinking about switching when my domain expires in 2025, but I can’t say I’ve had any issues since they got bought.
I’m on the same level. I keep reading how they got wrecked after being bought out; I didn’t even notice until recently that they’d been bought out.
Aw man, I had no idea they sold
I’ve been using namesilo for years without issue
Name cheap for over a decade with afraid dns.

I’ve always used OVH. They are reputable, always been responsive to my questions and have an API to handle many things, including domain names, which is handy for DNS-01 challenges with Caddy and libdns.
Namecheap has been good to me for a decade now, and I don’t really have complaints at all
I currently renew my domains on namecheap and manage the records on cloudflare. Namecheap’s web interface is trash (doesn’t work in Firefox for no reason) and I dread every time I have to touch it. I’m currently considering just moving the registrations to cloudflare too.
Same. Their API is now too slow for LetsEncrypt DNS challenges. :(
Cloudflare is great though.
I just moved my registrar from namecheap to cloudflare since they started supporting .dev domains and it’s infinitely better. Was already using them for the dns challenges cuz I’m not paying for SSL certs.
Leave the registration with NC and move the DNS to cloudflare. You should separate the two functions anyway so you have fallback ability for both. If the DNS is borked, you can go back to the registrar and change name servers, and if the registrar is down, it doesn’t affect your DNS.
I was wondering if somebody was going to mention the he nameservers :). I couldn’t figure out how to get them working, but it seems like a good option! I want to figure out if I can use them as backup nameservers in addition to my own at some point…
Joker.com. I’ve been a happy customer for years and years.
I’ve been with GoDaddy for going on 20 years.
Its worked well for me. I started off with their web hosting, but these days they just handle my domains. They’ve got an API so you can use them as a dynamic DNS provider as well.
GoDaddy is known to be a terrible company for a multitude of reasons (both technical and non-).
My last experience with them involved completely migrating a client away from them as they were paying significantly more than I’d ever seen for the services they were using.
For the client, what drove them to finally dump GoDaddy was their email server only pushing new messages every 10 minutes (even on a manual fetch); not good in an email-heavy industry.
I couldn’t even get DNSSEC working at the time and if I remember correctly you had to pay more for AAAA records — something crazy like that.
AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it’s nice to have a place for everything.
