> to a EU registrar

Which one? I've been using DNSimple for so long, been trying to find something equally developer friendly who is based in Europe but haven't had much success. Used to use Gandi before DNSimple but it's obviously down the drain today.

I've been using DNSimple for ages and I'm looking to switch; not because of geopolitical reasons (I'm American), but they're just damn expensive for the simple dns and domain management stuff I use them for.

    Are there other good ones with such a nice API?

    • nozzlegear 14 hours ago

      Good question! Ironically I want to use their API to migrate somewhere else, but it'd need to have a good API to complete the migration :P

I use Scaleway as my registrar, I don't know if i can automate domain registration but I don't have to. They have APIs for managing records if you choose to host DNS there too.

What about OVH?

  • procaryote 18 hours ago

    OVH is awful. The UI is slow and buggy, operations often fail and you need slow contact with support.

    Worse, closing an OVH account is very hard. Every domain you host there they sign you up to several services, and you need to manually disable each one before they let you close the account. This then often gets stuck, because of the broken UI, and you end up needing to badger support over and over until they'll fix it

    Never again

    They have Fido 2FA too!

    But their web UI looks and feels like it was pieced together by hamsters. It doesn't leave me feeling confident in their technical abilities in any way.

Best would be to research a local one where you live. Support your community while you're at it!

    I live in a town with 10K other folks, I feel like I'd know if there was a local DNS registrar here :)

    But maybe I should be the change I wanna see!
