Well, since they’re making me think about it…

What registrars does the hacker news community recommend?


Cloudflare Domains sells at cost and has been great.

https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar/


Cloudflare Domains is not a legitimate registrar option because you are REQUIRED to use the Cloudflare nameservers. If you want to use different nameservers, you have to transfer the domain out to a different registrar.


Moving domains to another Cloudflare user is a total pain though, especially if you sell your site to someone.

Would also recommend. They support a lot of extensions and you’re not going to get it for cheaper.

Been slowly abandoning my namecheap account…


Porkbun is where I'm moving everything. If considered cloudflare as well.

Currently moving my dns to digital ocean and cloudflare. After that, will start exfiltrating the domains to porkbun.


I transferred all my domains to Porkbun. Their renewal prices are low and so far, I don't have any complaints.


Pitifully, Porkbun's marketplace depends on Paypal... Otherwise it'd be perfect!


Hm? They appear to have Stripe and crypto options too, as well as Alipay.


The trinity: Cloudflare, Porkbun, Namecheap


strongly endorse cloudflare and porkbun. namecheap is ehh.


Anyone that isn't Godaddy.


Why?

We use quite a few registrars and GD is far from the worst, in my opinion.


Namesilo.com Since... 2012? I think? Never found a reason to change? I never see it suggested in these lists for some reason -- Maybe I've been missing something all along...?


From reading the Protonmail Reddit this one pops up a lot:

Anyone have experience with them?


Simple, straight forward, privacy friendly, crypto payments, support was about 5x faster with Njalla than Gandi.

It's more expensive but I don't care. It's pennies a day difference and it's critical infra, not something yo cheap out on, especially given the horror stories of other registrars over the years.

I moved everything there.


I just use AWS. Probably not the cheapest option, but I know they will not play games with domain sniping or other kinds of nonsense.


I think Namecheap is the goto recommendation on hacker news.


I have been with them since forever. I see no particular reason to switch, although I find their UI rather clunky.


I’m about to switch away from namecheap, been meaning to ever since they cut off a subset of their customers without much warning or recourse. Haven’t gotten around to it yet but I’ve since lost trust and wonder whether that couldn’t happen to me next if I continue using namecheap. So just be careful if your views don’t align with theirs.


Just checked my account, and I'm 10 days away from my 20-year anniversary. Holy smokes.


been using joker for 25 years or so


How does learning a new way to think about a problem become counterproductive? Each language you learn gives you a new angle from which you can approach a problem. Is it counter productive to learn a second spoken language? I haven’t come across an argument against that, even learning a dead language like Latin or Ancient Greek has benefits.


Perhaps counterproductive is too strong a word, but there could definitely be problems in the short term. Programmers love to apply things they learned in their work, and taking a concept or pattern from language A and applying them to language B is a natural reaction. The most common culprits are monads and actors. Ergonomics (readability, cognitive cost, debugging, IDE support, etc) became afterthoughts in the midst of excitement, and the long term health of the codebase (and teammates) suffers.

I have made mistakes like that (introducing monads/future and making the team learn guava) and I still regret it. Its not to say futures are useless - there were a lot of async logic in the codebase and futures solve a real problem, but its not clear if the benefits outweigh the cost.
