What is the best domain registrar?
Customer service, business ethics, etc.
namecheap? I've used them for a few years now for a personal domain. I've never had to deal with their customer service though so I can't comment on that.
I have been happy with Gandi for a number of years.
Namecheap is also good from what I hear.
GoDaddy has done a number of lousy business practices in the past so while they do work well and do offer a lot, I cannot recommend them.
How do you define “best domain registrar”? If it’s just because of price or because of customer service, then there are a lot of registrars that fit that criteria.
Let’s talk about a registrar that will secure your domain. One that will make sure it doesn’t get stolen. One that will protect your privacy if you want it.
Hover. Private registration is free and no bullshit trying to sell you something while they force you through a bunch of pages. Plus their default TTL is 15 mins. Perfect while moving stuff. Try setting anything less than 2 hours on others.
I like Dynadot. I primarily chose them because they offer 2FA.
Godaddy, Daynot and Namecheap. I have tried three of them and their services are up to the mark.
Namecheap Handsdown
I have more than 24 domains with them, they never fumble
