Recommended domain registrars (kbin.social)

With Gandi hiking their prices and doing some shady stuff on top of that, I'm on the lookout for a new domain registrar.

So far, the alternatives I've checked out are:

  • Porkbun: solid, but limited list of TLD's, missing a few I need
  • Cloudflare: cheapest, easy to use platform, but they require you to set them up as authoritative DNS provider, which I'm not ok with.
  • NameCheap: mixed reviews, not so cheap anymore

It seems quite hard to find a decent, no-BS registrar with ok prices. What are your recommendations?

Bonus cookie points:

  • privacy-focused
  • EU-based
  • supports less popular country TLD's (e.g. .ro)

Namecheap is still the cheapest I found for certain TLDs, would be curious to find another though!

Cloud flare is cheaper than namecheap. Cloud flare sells at cost. Namecheap might be cheaper for the initial year, but they will make it up on renewal

Yeah I agree with you especially if you talk about the renewal price since Cloudflare price is a non-discount price, it is not like the others.
