Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

GoDaddy. Easy, no hassle. DNS config is OK. There are libraries to programmatically configure DNS (for Let's Encrypt).
Please don't recommend GoDaddy, someone may actually listen to you. They're well known as one of the worst registrars. I would suggest you find a recommendation on this post that looks good to you and then move your domains there. Literally anywhere would be better than GoDaddy.
I see. What's the problem with it? I don't deal with them very often. Why are they bad?
I'm genuinely curious, and I'm not against switching providers.
For me personally, they once stole a domain from me that I'd purchased from someone else, with no recourse whatsoever. I also saw them (firsthand) doing some shady things around their WHOIS lookup tool, where they'd register domains that users had searched for. I wouldn't take my word for it though, I'm just some rando online, I'd do some searches to see just how many people have had issues with them over the years. Spoiler alert, it's a LOT. There are even websites dedicated to detailing why GoDaddy is awful.
I see, thanks for the warning! Seems like I have to do a transfer soon.
