Does anybody know any good alternative to Name Cheap? It seems like they keep raising prices on all the domains. Website is very sluggish, especially for finding domains quickly.

I've heard good things about https://www.inwx.com/ I'm contemplating moving my domains from namecheap to there as they have a reputation for supporting lots of exotic domains which will make migrating easier.

Lots of good stuff in this thread I was not aware of. I have a few vanity domains with personal projects so it's not a big deal if they have low SEO but good to know going forward that I should be prioritising country domains like the Irish .ie one instead of 'fun' looking domains that are memorable.

cloudflare is the cheapest - they do it at cost.

  • Wow, thanks. You were right. I Googled and it says Cloudflare is cheaper by twenty-five to fifty percent on renewals. I'm really sick of namecheap. They seem to never stop raising prices. but I'm also I'm kinda wary and afraid of moving domains and losing it.

    • Cloudflare is doing the enshittification strategy, enticing you now, and then extracting value later. You don't want your domains to be in Cloudflare when they lock the gates. If it's a temporary domain, go ahead I suppose.
