@pdxmisfit Nah, nothing at all other than I'd like to use dnscontrol to manage my DNS. I assumed Route53 would have better DNS response times globally, but I was incorrect!
I have been with #porkbun for a couple of years with zero complaints.
@mildouze Check this website for the latest domain pricing:
I used to have the majority of my domains registered with Gandi, now I've transferred them to Porkbun.
Yay! :D #porkbun sent me a discount code for some stickers to celebrate my renew-aversary and the birth of PraetorTEL :D I got a .tel, .gay, and .beer sticker :)
Urgh, I still need to do a migration from #gandi for 3-4 domains and an important email address.
#porkbun . #namecheap , #mythicbeasts or other ???
#gandi #porkbun #namecheap #mythicbeasts #gandigate
I did a trial of transferring some domain names from #GoogleDomains to #Porkbun and I thought some of my mistakes might be interesting to others who aren't #DNS experts and are considering the switch.
1. Be sure to turn off DNSSEC in Google domains before the transfer. If you didn't: delete the DNSSEC record in Porkbun that came from Google and recreate it using the toggle switch in the Porkbun web UI.
2. Setup nameservers and DNS in Porkbun ASAP. Google deletes the old records quickly.

🥥 Eye second your statement re: #Porkbun, which -- full disclosure -- I've been using for a few years. 🥥
as much as i like #porkbun i’ve unfortunately had a couple of urgent tech support issues recently and they don’t get out of bed and get to work until 5pm uk time 😬
Estaba leyendo en un toot que recomendaban #porkbun y fui a conseguir un dominio nada más porque el primer año era gratis. Ahora solo queda pensar que hacer con el.
I successfully transferred my domain names to #porkbun !
...Now I'll give it some time before making sure the sites actually work, haha.
@Jase @jfmblinux @Nephos Your new setup seems to be working well for you.
MXroute is a good option, but the owner (Jarland) is not into hand-holding for newbies, and one really has to know what they're doing.
Like you, I was intending to move all my domains out of Gandi when the price was right, but of course I didn't - and now I've got just a few domains with them that I don't intend renewing anyway.

@fredonline @jfmblinux The disadvantage of Porkbun is that it is limited in number of email forwards (20) and no wildcarding. #porkbun
@jfmblinux I never considered the mailboxes to be free, but 'included' as one had to pay considerably more to register a domain with Gandi, when compared with other registrars. I recommend Porkbun if you want to move your domain, and for your email check out Purelymail:
#gandi #domains #email #porkbun #purelymail
.COM.DE - A great new alternative for German domains: Currently, Porkbun have a sale on this domain:
$4.68 to register
$5.28 to renew
https://tld-list.com/tld/com.de
It's unrestricted, so anyone can register.
#porkbun #domains #german #germany
Dealing with #DNS #Domains just feels wrong when you're a fan of the open web.
I just had to migrate a domain from one shady provider to one that will hopefully remain less shady for a while. I'm betting on #PorkBun this time. Previously I bet on #Gandi (whoops). Years before it was Epik (double-whoops)
I don't need a globally unique name for my personal website, or even my projects. But I'm forced to go through this rigamarole because it's the only usable addressing system on the web.
@shellsharks @joel I left GoDaddy a long time ago due to the constant upselling each time I wanted to buy/renew domains.
I like the API and ease of doing stuff at #porkbun. Everything is easily accessible with almost zero upselling.
I've been on #Porkbun for a good while with 40+ domains and I love them. 🐷
