These are for ten years on a 1.1111b xyz domain
Godaddy $17 (unsure if includes protection) Dynadot $11.50 (with whois protection) Xyz $19.90 (with whois protection)
Its all very confusing. I just want to get a domain for my server as cheap as
Just to go against the grain here, fuck Cloudflare. They are too big a part of the internet already. I would never use them.
Agreed. I don’t trust them at all and hate how much stuff uses them.
Them and Amazon Web Services. Every single “83c92b227da1a9e337ef305b1f99f42418af47e96edb2960d01a7ed26d35eec.us-east-1.prod.service.minerva.devices.a2z.com” and “awstrack.me” URL. They’re so heavily integrated.
Cloudflare sells domains at wholesale prices. Protection included.
I like and use Cloudflare but it’s worth mentioning you must use their dns for domains you purchase from them.
Try porkbun
When I tried Porkbun, they asked me for selfie+ID before I could buy a domain there. I think is a random flag, but just a heads up.
Huh strange, first ive heard that happen, sorry that happened to you
I’ve been using Porkbun for years. No complaints.
I tried signing up and they wanted a copy of photo ID or something ridiculous. Noped out of there. Is that just a UK thing or what?
I think ID for new customers is widespread now because of the growth of scams. I enrolled at Porkbun from the US a number of years ago without ID (before they started asking for it) and they haven’t asked me for it retroactively, so I don’t think it’s required, it’s just something they do as an anti-scam measure. I’ve never tried for a UK or other national domain from them.
Cloudflare has the cheapest prices and the fastest DNS record changes there is no reason to use anyone else.
cloudflare sells below cost, so expect to be nagged by “features” and have trouble e.g. using your own nameservers to get away from them.
Also they don’t sell the truly cheap stuff like .eu because they’re not nonprofit.
For .xyz they do make a good compromise, but xyz itself is a bad choice to start with.
