I've been using namecheap for years and redirect DNS through cloudflare. I think my yearly renewal is around $25. I've been thinking of transferring to cloudflare, but their pricing model is really expensive for their other products and don't really want to feel pigeonholed if my price gets inflated above what I already pay.
I've been happy with Gandi but their future looks bleak. Gandi was bought by Total Webhosting Solutions/now your.online a couple of months back, which is pretty bad news. They've been purchasing Dutch companies and increasing prices while letting their services turn to shit for a while now. The raised prices came in a few weeks ago, we've yet to see the services turn to shit but I am extremely confident it will happen.
Gandi is just the first international purchase by TWS, so not many people know it, and there are few relevant references on the English-speaking web as most of this was localized to the Netherlands. You'd have to search on Dutch tech news sources like tweakers.net and use some translation tool to find anything meaningful.
Yeah, I have a couple of domains registered with Google, and I remember people saying that it was likely they would shut down the service the way they have killed so many other products after people started to rely on them. At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if they canned Gmail.
I use selfhost.de (they register domains via united-domains for you) who are specialized on self-hosting in Germany and offer a wide variety of options on how to connect a domain using dynamic DNS.
