Comment on Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?

Namecheap, cheap, easy to use, easy to setup DDNS, helpful support staff. I have heard horror stories of them selling popular domains out from under their owner but none were recent.

Same. I buy all my domains there. And in case someone needs a proper API and support for the dns challenge, host your DNS at DeSEC.

Never heard of DeSEC before, but it looks damn cool! Been looking to get away from CloudFlare.

What makes you want to move from Cloudflare? They are the least expensive option

A lot of these DNS hosts don’t support using them for secondary DNS… It looks like deSEC is the same :/
I like using my own DNS server as a hidden primary because it lets me do bulk and programmatic updates more easily.
I’m using DNSMadeEasy for some of my important domains because they have the fastest servers, their service is really reliable, and major brands are using the same DNS servers so it seems like I can trust them. However, after being acquired by DigiCert, their prices went up over 10x… the $60/year plan I was on is now $675/year.
HE’s free DNS supports secondary DNS but their reliability isn’t great. DNSimple supports it but I’m over their limit of 100 records for some zones. Hexonet supports it but I couldn’t figure out how to get it working and neither could their support.
