Any recommendations for a trust worthy and reliable domain registrar?
I use Porkbun, but this is largely because I like the little cartoon pig, and I’m familiar with the UI.
Generally you should just check for the best deal for the particular domain, and then remove any particularly terrible providers from the results.
Been a happy namecheap.com user for a few years now and no issues.
Their UI is a little clunky at times but for something I use every now and again it’s not an issue.
Personally, I use NameCheap and I’ve never had an issue. I’ve read good things about PorkBun.
Whatever domain registrar you choose, please for the love of all that is sacred don’t search for a domain through GoDaddy. Rumour has it that they automatically park domains when you search for them and add a hefty markup.
They sure as fuck did it in 2007. My name dot com is still parked.
Migrated most of mine from Namecheap to https://domains.google/ . Nice DNS UI, consolidated billing, not much upsell to other products. Guess there is some risk to getting locked out of email and the domain in one shot.
Google sold their registrar to Squarespace like two weeks ago. OP is likely looking to move from Google Domains to a different registrar.
if you don’t mind pay a bit more, then i highly recommend name.com they have been in the business since ages.
