  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

After Google's announcement to kill the domain registrar service, I would like to transfer my domain to another provider. I use Cloudflare for nameservers and their services, but they don't support transferring my .in domain Do you have any suggestions on an honest provider, possibly in Europe?

Every time this comes up people mention Porkbun and Namecheap, amongst others. I transferred to Porkbun and I have no complaints. Here's their page on transferring. They aren't located in Europe.

Same here, Porkbun is great so far.

I'm with Namecheap, I have heard some stories of bad practices but personally have not experienced any issues.

Same here on my end. I've heard some bad stuff but they've been fine for me too

I heard about it too, they are not European, let's see if there is anyone who has a European suggestion

Moved all my domains to OVH, as they have an API I can get wild card certificates with

Contabo.de allows Domain management and has a nice dns configuration interface.

I’ve moved mine to Infomaniak (Switzerland), no complaints so far!

It seems interesting but they ask for more than 21 euros and the annual cost is not clear, OVH for example asks for 6.90 euros

It’s a bit chaotic, and they try to force you to pay for other stuff in the process, but the prices were not that far off from other registrars. Note that I use DeSEC for the actual nameservers though.

It's a global service, not just for India.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

sorry, I was looking for a European service and I thought it was a purely Indian service
