I’m currently using namecheap to buy cheap domains, I know they are not necessarily cheap in long term, but first year + coupons make them almost free

But now I’ve got some domains I don’t want to just use one year, and it gives pretty much a lot of issues with pricing and privacy

So please, people, share services you use, and tell me whether they are private and/or cheap and/or have all those countless generic domains and not just .com .org .net

          I took a look and didn’t see domains mentioned until you go to the members login page. It’s not even on the sign up page.

          So, uh, maybe go take a look at the link you’re posting. And also don’t write “pay for what you use” when someone is asking about buying a domain if you don’t want people to think you misunderstood the question

    I used to use Google Domains, but then they sold that off to Squarespace.

    Now I just use Cloudflare directly lol which also includes their free services, which is quite the value IMO

    Porkbun is sort of the darling of the self hosting community. I settled on them after doing a huge comparison of prices and features of all the different registrars available to me. Porkbun was by far the best.
