I've used two, NameCheap, and PorkBun.
Hated Namecheap, would never use them again. Janky pricing, tons of email spam, terrible UI.
Porkbun has been pretty great. Simple, solid prices, easy to use, no issues for about a year and a half.
I migrated from IONOS and Namecheap to INWX because it does support both domains I use.
And their prices were reasonable.
Migration was quick and neat. Had to issues doing it.
Namecheap. Avoid Dynadot.
Just curious. Why should dynadot be avoid?
I can only speak from personal experience but for me they jacked up the price significantly after year one and then sent my domain straight to auction after I decided not to pay. I respect that there are reseller-focused providers out there but they aren't for me.
On the other hand, I've had nothing but quality service from namecheap for the best part of a decade.
As a side question, are there other free DNS providers besides Cloudflare? Ones that don't require you to register your domain there.
Hetzner
They don't support DNSSEC.
Yeah,one of the few drawbacks they have. Most people can live with it, but it's indeed one of the things they should be providing by now but don't
Is this important when self hosting?
I've been using Namecheap for almost a year now with no complaints
I’ve been with namecheap for years too. No complaints
Cloudflare dns changes are lightning fast compared to network solutions.
gandi.net
Move your stuff from Gandi to Netim.com
Gandi got acquired and has done some very weird shit with pricing.
