Which one do you recommend? Namecheap literally kicked me out (with 1 month deadline to transfer my domain) because I happen to have wrong passport color.


Cloudflare, if they support the TLD you need. My personal domain is a .cx which they don't support, so I stick with Namecheap for the time being.


I have had my domains hosted at EasyDNS for almost 20 years, and have never had the smallest problem with them. Rock solid, reliable DNS, and excellent customer service. The founder is still running the company, and he is both a free speech advocate and a stickler for due process, so no worries about getting kicked off at a whim.


Porkbun never fucked me over. They seem legit and not overly scummy.

How does having the wrong passport color equal being kicked out?


Most of Namecheap's employees are in Ukraine, and they decided to block Russian users after the invasion: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...


It's a euphemism for trade restrictions.


Namecheap is Ukrainian. Possibly parent has a Russian or Belarusian passport.


Namecheap is not Ukrainian, it's headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.


Ah, thanks. With all the weirdness going on, I wasn't sure we weren't talking immigration.


Igor is a popular Russian name
