Recommended domain registrars

With Gandi hiking their prices and doing some shady stuff on top of that, I'm on the lookout for a new domain registrar.

So far, the alternatives I've checked out are:

  • Porkbun: solid, but limited list of TLD's, missing a few I need
  • Cloudflare: cheapest, easy to use platform, but they require you to set them up as authoritative DNS provider, which I'm not ok with.
  • NameCheap: mixed reviews, not so cheap anymore

It seems quite hard to find a decent, no-BS registrar with ok prices. What are your recommendations?

Bonus cookie points:

  • privacy-focused
  • EU-based
  • supports less popular country TLD's (e.g. .ro)

  • I used to have the vast majority of my domains with Gandi, but over recent times, I've favoured Porkbun and most of my domains are now with them. I used NameSilo for a while, but their prices aren't as competitive as they once were. Tried Google Domains for a short while, but was concerned if I was ever to lose access to my Google account, I could lose access to my domains.
