   I had used gandi.net to host my domains for years, partly because I looked at the FSF and EFF and saw which registrar they used. I reasoned those were two groups that vetted their registrars heavily for fair dealings.

   But with the price hike, I need to find a new one. Is there one as reliable and solid as gandi used to be?

   EDIT to add: I have one `.net` domain and one `.com` domain to manage, and my wife has a `.tech` domain, if that narrows the parameters down any.

   FURTHER EDIT: Also, I only need one thing: registration of a domain to point to my nameserver and its secondaries. I don't need any sort of hosting, or even DNS itself. I run my own postfix and BIND servers, as well as my own Web servers.

     @spacehobo Porkbun are based in the US, but so far they are pretty good.

     They were very helpful when I had a tricky domain to move.

     Their domain control panels pretty good as well.

     @onepict @spacehobo Another vote for Porkbun from me! I have to admit I haven't looked deep into how they work behind the scenes, I took all my domains to them based on recommendations.

     My last registrar/host really hacked me off (123-Reg in the UK, don't touch them) so I was really wanting to jump.
