Ask HN: Recommended domain name registrar

[frapbot]

I'm planning to get my own domain this month. Any suggestions?

I have no complaints with Namecheap.

Gandi or Namecheap.

Namecheap is cheaper than Gandi when it comes to .com domains. However, Gandi's domains include IMAP/POP (1 GB) hosted in France, and they have more TLDs than Namecheap.

Same word of caution I always give in these threads:

For quickie or throwaway projects, dot.tk is pretty useful.

I use Namecheap for everything else, but when my budget is $0, dot.tk works just fine.

I use Dreamhost. Free private domain registration. They also have two factor authentication to protect your account.

Hover, Gandi and Namecheap are the suggestions you're likely to get here. They're all fine.

Hover always seemed best for me. Loved that I could call and get an immediate answer.

namecheap and gandi do it for me.
