Hover, Gandi, Namecheap, AWS, Google, Cloudflare.

There are many decent alternatives. From the above, I have used all but Google and Cloudflare. My experience has been pleasant with all that I have used.



I've been very happy with Google's registrar service... the only down side is you cannot bulk edit contacts. The couple times I've needed support they've been available within a couple minutes (once by phone, twice in browser chat). Not like any other Google support issue. Some prices are a little more than GoDaddy, others a little less, that part was pretty much a wash.

The biggest advantage over Google's registrar service, is there's no upsell, at least not that I noticed. They do offer some integrated service options. The included google dns hosting and mail forwarding services are great imho. It could use some slight improvements in UI/UX, but still better than any other registrar I've tried by a large margin.

Mileage may vary, of course, but I really do like the service overall. I'm not affiliated with Google, don't always like everything they do, and do have some reservations about them as a company. That said, imho the best registrar option available.


Lol. Every company you listed gets blasted all the time here on HN.

I normally don't like qoutes but i think the Batman one fits well here with how people perceive companies: 'You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain'
