Some European ones because the domains have European TLDs. .eu for example is only available by EU registrars IINM. But also, I do my best to keep the money local where I can.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

I don't think that's true anymore. I moved my .eu to porkbun (which is an American company) and it works. Also, I just tried registering a new .eu domain with them and it works - and they have very good prices! (I'm not affiliated with them)

not true anymore, everybody can buy eu domain

I originally used namecheap but moved over to porkbun about 2 years ago now. I've really enjoyed their service since the move. The two instances where I needed to contact support were great. Issues were resolved very quick and responses weren't days apart like namecheap.

I'm not super knowledgeable on this, but I chose Dynadot because it's cheap and WHOIS privacy is included.

I'm using my local registrar. 10 years ago, when I registered my first domain, it was one of few options I was familiar with, and they had offered a discount. I could find something cheaper, but we're talking about 8EUR/year. It doesn't really matter.

OVH because it's European

EarMaster , (edited )

INWX because it's a local provider which seems decent.

BlackRing ,

I use Hostpoint.

They were recommended by Protonmail, and meet my privacy concerns.

+1 for Hostpoint. All my servers are in Switzerland as well.

PainInTheAES ,

I currently use gandi but I'm planning on moving to cloudflare. Not in too much of a rush since I did a 10 year lease.

Evotech ,

Ghandi.net because a paranoid DNS expert told me he uses it

Ghandi got sold to another company last year and they have started raising prices... I suggest you look into transfering your domain to somewhere else. I am trying porkbun now and it seems alright but they are others.

Evotech ,

Hm I didn't know. Thanks. I already use cloudflare for DNS so next cycle i might change the registrar too if it's anything to save.

Namecheap because cheap

ChrislyBear ,

Initally some local site, then I transferred to GoDaddy, then to OVH (since GD is shit). One is still at Cloudflare (tried to move there, but they don't support al TLDs that I use, like ".eu").

For DNS I use Cloudflare. They provide a layer of privacy, i.e. your server IPs don't get exposed directly.

No particular reason. They seem pretty alright.

MaggiWuerze ,

Contabo, since I also rented a VPS with them at the time. Really great service, complete dns control. Can only recommend

I started with Porkbun, but I also have some domains on Gandi because they offer a CC TLD I wanted.
