Hey guys, I am quite new to the whole self-hosting world so I haven’t done too much. Before I dive in deeper though, I’d like to know how I should choose my domain name vendor. Specifically, I only want a domain, no VPS or other hosting capability as I got some old laptops running at home I want to use for testing the waters.
Thanks in advance!
I use Porkbun as my registrar. Excellent support and low prices.
Plus one for Porkbun here. DNS management is super easy too. Low prices was also a plus. Got a “.sh” for half of what everyone else I found has them for.
Another vote for Porkbun here. I switched after Google Domains shared they were selling off to Squarespace. It’s been a lovely experience and their website just seems more human than the other big players. Cloudflare isn’t a terrible alternative option as long as you’ll be using their DNS.
Porkbun is awesome. A few months ago I transferred most of my domains from Namecheap to Porkbun and I’ll be transferring the rest soon.
Namecheap are still in my top 3 after Porkbun and Cloudflare though.
