Domain Name Registrars in EU?


What EU based domain name registrars are you using and would recommend?

The best registrar would be a registrar with no customer support or human intervention. Customer support agents are always the weakest link for domains when they get tricked into granting unauthorized access.

I would be wary of using any German registrar because of extremely weak privacy laws in the country (impressums etc)

https://www.infomaniak.com/en/domains - Not exactly EU, as it is Swiss-based. They often have pretty good prices, and good customer service.

Gandi.net

I absolutely love https://porkbun.com

No bs, default WHOIS anonymity, always cheap prices, you can pay in crypto and very very nice support staff

//EDIT: Oh, they’re in the US :( Too bad, disregard

Try domainfactory.de, I used to have one there. Pretty good experience overall

I use eurodns.com because they have a wide range of TLDs (like .so) and are much cheaper than Gandi.

I've used https://all-inkl.com and https://hetzner.de both worked, all-inkl I thought had pretty good support.

I use united-domains.de

Their website is fast and allows batch queries for when you're trying to find a new project name. Prices are reasonable. I've never used their included hosting or email, though. 3rd party Nameservers like CloudFlare work great.

Oderland is another option: https://www.oderland.com/domains/

Maybe you can have a look at openprovider.eu. They have a membership, and with these memberships they have reduced cost prices.

inwx seems to have the broadest selection of TLD's if that matters to you.
