I'm always amazed to find techie people that don't use something at least as good as https://dnsimple.com/.

I've been using them since 2011 and have not had a single issue.

In fact, they have just kept on progressively getting better!

I could not agree more!

Problem is companies change.

Godaddy was at one point ok to use.

Namecheap is popular but there are warnings about them now in this sub too…

You can make an informed and good choice, and years later you have a bad registrar.

They're a little pricey for just DNS, which makes me wonder how much they charge for domain registration. It'd be nice if they gave pricing on their web site.

GoDaddy has always been a bad choice — poor reliability, customer service, rarely even the cheapest. People used them because they advertised a lot — I’ve known multiple guys who literally said they based that decision on the hot women in their ads! – but they’ve also had a bad reputation in the serious tech community since the turn of the century.

I’ll also note that 100% of the clients I’ve inherited who used them had less than a single nine of uptime annually. Their shared hosting, file storage, etc. would just stop responding and nothing would appear to happen until someone called support.

Not from what I remember. They were well thought of / recommend many many years ago.

Might be a community thing. Going back to the early 2000s in my experience they were used as a cautionary example of bikini marketing over technical merits.

What year are we talking? I'm not aware of this ever being true.

Probably "They were well thought of/recommend" is just hearsay for "Somebody recommended them only because they saw an ad".
