Doing my bit: migrating my small company's db this weekend from AWS RDS to Hetzner VPS + volumes. Fingers crossed!
Already done: replaced SendGrid with Sweego.
Later: move domains from US registrar to EU based.
The difficult bit is the Microsoft Office because we are also using Azure DevOps for code, tickets, wiki and ci/cd.
Gradually moving over from Teams to Hetzner + Nextcloud over the past year. The chat app is the blocker (Nextcloud Talk is not quite there yet). But we've moved over files, docs, calendar, photos, etc.
Me too.
Just moved all my hosting and dbs from a US company to Hertzner after 15 years of good service. Moving domains now.
Unfortunately Hetzner volumes have pretty low iops for databases
We have a small database with low access rates. We'll be fine, at least for a while.
What EU based registrars would you recommend?

Hetzner might be a good choice to keep things together, as we're already using some services from them.
I like Hetzner, but I'd avoid having everything under the same provider.
Sometimes hosting companies suspend accounts. If that happens, it's useful to have your domains and backups with different providers.

It's all in there.
I wouldn't hard recommend based on lack of solid experience of using them over time, but Gandi showed a lot of promise for me.
Context: I used to run a domain-related service that used registrar api's and gandi's seemed the most well thought out by a considerable way. The drawback was they're quite expensive for registrations/renewals unless you're doing it at volume.
I had reservations about them being a French company wrt support but their API was so good I never needed to contact them on anything.
Definitely worth a look.
For me personally, one that's well supported by DNS-01 providers for let's encrypt.
Unfortunately there's not that many and often the process is broken.
What does that have to do with registrar?
You are talking about DNS zone hosting which can be separate. And I always prefer to keep it that way.

I haven't looked into this yet, so I cannot recommend. I'll work my way through the list here: https://european-alternatives.eu/category/domain-name-regist...
I’ve been using Gandi for quite a few years now without any trouble.
