G+_Jason Perry Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 All I have to say is, wow, it is easy to switch domain providers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Wiggins Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Who did you transfer from? Go Daddy was a pain about a year and a half ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have been with go daddy for quite awhile, out of not wanting the hassle of switching. I finally switched and it was straight forward and was done I a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Wiggins Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 That's amazing. At one point there were a TON of roadblocks, ostensibly to prove I was really who owned the domain. (Ink talking almost three months to complete). Namecheap and Google have been my choices of late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 domain registrar or hosting? Been told in the past, best to not have both at same place. Don't remember the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Eddie Foy?, Domain registrar. David Wiggins?, I didn't realize google was a registrar. I'll have to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Wiggins Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Yeah, Google domains. They also make it pretty easy to set up your own DNS for self hosting, as well as tie ins to several top hosting providers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I've been happy with Namecheap. Especially like that they support dynamic DNS. I've heard Google does as well. And really, for $1/month, there's not much reason to not use one of them if you need a dynamic DNS. Dyndns charges a lot more than that without a custom domain.

G+_Jason Perry Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I was just noticing how cheap it is to host an email address with namecheap. I might be taking advantage of that in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Wiggins Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yeah, I also do Google for my domain's email right now. Much easier than messing with my own. I have another domain I use for learning that kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Jason Perry I'm still using the email forwarding in Namecheap. Makes it super easy to setup custom aliases for signing up to new websites, sweepstakes, etc. If I start getting spam to one of those aliases, I know exactly who sold my address. My goal is to create a mail server so I can do outbound messages from those accounts, but haven't gotten that far yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
