Private and/or cheap places to register a domain

You have 5 seconds to answer 😃

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

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.

morriscox,

Out of curiosity, why did you use HTTP instead of HTTPS?

Totally unintentional. I’ll edit it.

dept,

TLD-List is a pretty good resource to compare different registrars for any tld.

rdyoung,

I would stick with namecheap (for now) and pony up for a multi year registration. If in 5 or 10 years they are jacking the price up then you can use another registrars cheap port option to get a discount. I did this recently between godaddy and namecheap. I had one domain left with godaddy that I have owned for over probably a couple of decades at this point and they were seriously jacking the rate up on me, I ported it to namecheap for a massive discount.

pay for what you use

rdyoung,

They aren’t looking to host a website. They are looking for domain registrars

ha, uh, that is what they do there. maybe go take a look before jumping to conclusions. they also have great privacy costs for those domains

LufyCZ,

It’s not.

glimse,

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
