Google Domain alternatives?

Privacy Guides@lemmy.oneEnglish • 1 year ago

I just saw that Google will be shutting down Google Domains / selling all domains to Squarespace, which makes me wanna see if I can pick a better registrar.

I only used Google Domains for the reliability and convenience, but would rather not go with Squarespace. I don’t see any section on hosting/registrars on the main site so was wondering what anyone else recommends.

I’ve heard talk before that Njalla is bad because you don’t actually own the domain and there have been instances of them shutting down / revoking access?

Also along the same lines I wouldn’t mind recommendations for good website hosting services too.

ICANN’s RAA says nothing about your address needing to be your home address. It can be a P.O. Box or a mail forwarding service. It just needs to be a contact address.

  Sure, I mean, I don’t have any of these though, and I don’t want to deal with even the remote possibility of snail mail arriving From The Internet.
