Hey fuck google now, forever, and more than ever

I own a handful of domains and, like many, many devs, migrated them to google domains sometime in the last few years because of their relatively cheap renewal fees, dead simple configuration, and a hands-off approach that didn't overload you with upsell like a lot of other registrars do.

Goodfellas gif -- And now it's all over

>10 million customers' data handed to squarespace for a paltry $180M.
The few domains I use are hooked up to buckets and droplets elsewhere, so I'm not looking for new webspace hosting. I just need a new place to park domains.

Could any cohost techies please recommend a service comparable to what google offered?

I'm mainly interested in an easy config and something that won't hit too hard for transfer fees. I see a lot of discussion elsewhere mention Cloudflare (too fash-friendly for me), Hover, Namecheap and Porkbun (completely unknown to me before now), but wouldn't be opposed to something a little more underground or bespoke or techy or gay or furry -- y'know, cohost-y.

Any input appreciated, thanks in advance

Nothing specific and probably baseless. I just noticed a few all-caps "NO THEY STEAL YOUR DATA" comments after some mentions of Hover on other sites. It was late when I first made this post and probably should have dismissed it as nonsense. I edited that bit out now. Sorry if I alarmed you.

Ah, I see. I'm not sure I understand how a domain registrar would even steal data 🤷‍♀️ I migrated all those domains at once and they did it for me, over the phone, and it was smooth. They even sent me a branded Moleskin notebook and a thank you note. It was sweet.

even if they end up not being cheaper they have the fastest domain record modification process i've ever personally used, and support is always very good every time i have engaged them or seen them engaged

had a good experience with Hover, but I'm currently on Njalla (not a registrar, but a privacy proxy for one, that allows you to completely avoid the whole "provide a home address / 'real' name / etc" nonsense in the first place rather than having to submit at least a fake one and then hide it with whois privacy)

I've got most of my stuff with ovh and while ovh isn't super amazing they're fine. pricing is good, very basic web hosting usable for a coming soon page is included for free if you want it and the dns service is one of the more functional ones I've used (functional automated let's encrypt wildcard certs if you want them). notable misser: limited whois privacy on their end. the usual gdpr rules apply of course if you're in one of those areas

also, one special noteworthy anti-vote: gandi. they've been a fairly solid if somewhat expensive registrar for years but a few months back they got purchased by a company known for buying companies, raising prices and just letting things generally become bad. and just a few days ago I got the inevitable "Gandi - pricing update" email. I would have recommended them 6 months ago but now? no. I was actually considering moving those to google domains for a day and my laziness thankfully paid off
