Ask HN: Recommended domain registrars in 2015?
1 point by basicallydan on April 6, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hello. I'm looking to transfer all my domains to a single registrar. I'm fed up with my current one (123-reg) and some others I've used for certain domains (Names.co.uk, EuroDNS) because they are poor at communicating prices and renewals and their websites are not fun to use. The last thread I could find on this subject was from 4 years ago [1] so I feel it's fair to start a new one.

As far as important features are concerned, for me it's the following, in order of importance.

1. Some way to easily find out how much my domain is going to cost next time I renew. On the list of "My Domains" I don't just want a couple of "manage" links and an expiry date, I want to know how much my next renewal fee will be. Even better, tell me how much I spent on it last time. This is especially important if the price is going to go up.

2. Modern domain management tools which put an emphasis on user experience instead of upselling or hiding features which allow me to cancel stuff.

3. Free or very cheap transfer from other registrars.

4. No recent history of anti-neutrality policies - if they are actively pro-neutrality, even better.

I know it sounds like I'm asking a lot, but... any recommendations? Thank you :)

I use name.com and I have no complaints. Their backend is simple and painless.
