Knock on wood, I have not used them in quite a while.
They really made the zip domain then dipped out
Looks like google domains is no more.

My order of preference for domain registrars is:
- Cloudflare (doesn’t support all TLDs, unfortunately)
- Porkbun (does have wide TLD support, and has no-bullshit pricing, albeit higher than Cloudflare)
- Namecheap. They’re cheap and Canadian… no other reason than just a backup to have.
Static_Rocket@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I really want to use porkbun but I see no need to write scripts to integrate a custom name server api into ddclient. (I know some people have written their own wrappers but they’ve yet to make it upstream.) Namecheap it is then.
rho50@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
Njalla is mine. I like the privacy protections they offer.
krnl386@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
WHOIS privacy? Porkbun does that for free for all TLDs that support it.

I am really thinking of switching to Microsoft for all my cloud needs, including email, photos and cloud storage and online office webapps.
I can’t trust that company no more.

You could try Proton, but I am not aware if they are offering any online office web apps.

It’s only a matter of time before you the same regarding microsoft. Their services always get worse as time progresses.

I see this bot as useful for new people trying to get into the community. Don’t downvote, but provide corrections to whom it may concern. This is a really cool resource.

I already move my domains to cloudfare! Great decision.
ozzah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I want to move to CloudFlare too, but I have a couple of
.com.audomains that CloudFlare doesn’t support.xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 1 year ago
Yup, I have been using cloudflare for a few years now, and, no complaints at all. Completely painless.
TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 1 year ago
And they don’t charge for a fucking email forwarding. Fuck you, domain.com!
flames5123@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How do I do this? I currently pay for a google domain at a cheap rate of like $13 a year. I want to keep it cheap and make sure I can just point it to my box.
qaz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Cloudflare doesn’t support every TLD’s, but they don’t have any markup on top of the ICANN fees that every register must pay, so they will probably be one of the cheapest. I use Cloudflare myself for DNS, Tunnels and anti-bot measures, but my main domain is not registered with them because it’s included in my web hosting plan.
dandroid@dandroid.app 1 year ago
What’s different about this announcement from the one they made 2 months ago?
Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
This one they emailed to people with slightly more detail. You could barely find any official information about this from Google after the last announcement, so it’s good they’re telling people now. Very annoying that I’m being forced into square space if I don’t transfer out before then though.
Seigest@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Well crap
I pretty much only have my domain for my email adress. It’s also a back up plan should my career take another nose dive and I need a portfolio. Gsuite was good for all that.
I’m not quite in the loop with best options for that kinda thing. And I been using the email for contract work for over a decade now. So I don’t want to give that up. Would cloudflare be good for that as well?
TheIllustrativeMan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I use Namecheap as my registrar, then split the domain between Adobe for the site (through their CC portfolio builder), and Proton Mail. I migrated off Gsuite a while ago, but haven’t had any problems since doing so.
einsteinx2@programming.dev 1 year ago
How has email deliverability been for you using Proton with a custom domain? I’m trying to move off of Google for everything but I’m still on Gmail for my personal email and a few custom domains. I’d love to move to Proton but have heard of problems with email going to spam or never being delivered but not sure if that only applies to their domains.
xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 1 year ago
I would recommend cloudflare.
finestnothing@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I second cloudflare. When they announced that squarespace bought Google domains a couple months ago I immediately switched over to cloudflare, no issues so far (plus additional features are a plus)
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Netim.com includes a 1 GB email address and a website with 250 MB and SSL with any domain.
If you want more email features you can delegate your MX records to Migadu.com, $20/year for unlimited mailboxes, domains, aliases etc. with 5 GB. The send/receive limits are soft limits, they don’t block emails if you go over. If you constantly and grossly go over your tier they ask you to consider going to the next one up but occasional misses are ok.
housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com 1 year ago
I cuurently use one of three registrars: Namecheap, Cloudflare, or Porkbun. Porkbun is my favorite and I will move my domains to them as they expire.
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 year ago
For Europe and specifically if you need European ccTLD’s, INWX and Netim have the largest selection and good prices.
You can see other European registrars on this page but check if they support all the TLDs you need and the pricing, sometimes they have an oddly expensive price for one of them.
Oh and a note about Gandi because it’s listed as “cheap” there, they’re currently jacking up their domain prices across the board. Until now they used to be sort of expensive, after this they’ll be the most expensive by 75-100% than the others.
Auli@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Why wait? When you move they just extend it by a year.

They can be very predatory
squiblet@kbin.social 1 year ago
Seems like more of a lateral shift than a downgrade
efreak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
My problem with squarespace is that 10 years ago I used to visit a few forums run on their servers, and every time I hit ESC in Firefox to stop animated gifs or to make a page stop loading/redirecting, it would navigate me to the CMS login page for the site owner.
Is this a problem today? No, I mostly browser on a tablet without a keyboard, I have no idea if they still do this.
Am I going to give them any money for this? Nope, the only thing I know about squarespace is that they used to intercept a browser shortcut to stop loading a page instead navigate away from the current page.
Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Good. The less Google does the better the internet will be.
rho50@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
Are CloudFlare, Amazon or Microsoft any better? Google at least take security (if not privacy) very seriously.
In general it seems bad to have any huge profit-driven organisation exercising significant control over open standards, but I do think that Google is lesser than many of the other evils.

Happened a while back. I had my domain on it and as soon as I saw the email I got a refund on my domain.
If I wanted to be on squarespace, I would’ve joined squarespace.

MoogleMaestro@kbin.social 1 year ago
Ahh crap.
What's the best no nonsense alternative?
Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Cloudflare is just that. It supports most domains except for premium .dev (for now) from google. Registrar costs are at cost and no markup. Lots of options, no pressure to do anything beyond free.
Next option is Namecheap, but they’ve had issues lately.
xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 1 year ago
I’ll vouch for cloud flare. Its hands down my favorite registrar I have used.
The ABSOLUTE, HANDS DOWN worst one you can possibly ever pick, would be GoDaddy. Don’t. Just Don’t. Don’t even search for a domain there… They have been caught sniping up domains after you search for them.. Absolute scum.
TheIllustrativeMan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What’s the problem with Namecheap? I’ve been with them since GoDaddy got on the shit list, but I’m not against moving again.
jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 1 year ago
except for premium .dev
WHYY ;-;
Shepherd767@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Probably not Google Cloud Domains, I’m in the middle of a transition to GCP, and this is total overkill, while at the same time not having the convenience I was hoping to find. I’ve got to deploy a whole custom cloud function to replace the Synthetic DNS record for my dynamic DNS.
