: Alternative to GoDaddy? For a number of reasons I'm thinking about slowly moving my domains away from GoDaddy. Unfortunately I don't know of a good alternative, and am looking for a recommendation.

@Alves908

I've been using NameCheap.com for years. I love it and would recommend it to anybody. Coincidentally, I'd also recommend anybody to NOT use GoDaddy. For a number of reasons. Hope this helped.

I personnaly use surpasshosting and surpassdomains, never had problem with them, their support is really fast and they often did more than what my contract was including.

I also want to specify that I do not, and never did, work for those company, I am a totally satisfied customer.

It's not always clear when people say "move domains" if they mean just domain registration or registration+hosting. It sounds like you're only concerned with registration in which case I concur with S.gfx above.

eNom, NameCheap, Google Domains, Hover and more... Like hosting I've had good and bas experiences with them all over the years.

If you're looking for registration+hosting then that's a different question though...

I moved most of my domains from Dreamhost to Gandi some while ago, mostly so domains can be managed separately from hosting. Gandi has a straightforward interface and feature set, allowing most common domain-related activities.

It might help answer the question if we know at least some of the reasons why you're moving. Is it performance, the user-interface, customer service? There are 1000s of domain registrars offering all these services, so it helps to know your specific reasons why GoDaddy doesn't fit the bill.


What do you mean by 'full control'? What are you trying to do?
You can separate your DNS management with something like Microtech. They have a very flexible price structure.
Lots of registrars offer this, although many use DomainsByProxy, which is owned by GoDaddy. If your beef is with GoDaddy the company, this might therefore not be a solution. Both 123-reg.co.uk and NetworkSolutions.com offer their own service.

If you ask for domains, as it seems, Enom, Namecheap, Internet.bs are other options, and they've got good reputation.

Dreamhost and HostGator will likely fit the bill. At the moment, I am experiencing better performance and service with HostGator. Both are reasonably priced and offer the features that you are looking for.
