Coupon is TESTANDCODE

I had already used it before realising it was one or the other, honestly its one of the better TLD’s IMO, too bad Cloudflare doesn’t support it yet.

Edit: I should have mentioned, you have to make a tentative payment of 1 USD, which is reverted.

      I’ve gotta say I’ve been using Porkbun for a few years now and I’ve never been caught off guard by insane renewal prices.

        I won’t lie… their prices actually don’t look half bad. Dot com is ten bucks a year instead of the $14 I’m giving Namecheap…

          I just switched away from namecheap because porkbun’s prices were so much better. They’re just all around better, really.

      Which are honestly some of the cheapest in the market, plus you own the domain and have the right to transfer it out, only paying the new registrar for a renewal after 60 days.

      Hopefully CloudFlare add .dev & .app in the next year, given Google’s decision, I still can’t believe Squarespace is getting all those accounts.

    How does everyone like porkbun? I have a lot of domains at Google that im looking to move to cloudflare, gandhi, or porkbun, but haven’t decided which yet.

      I’m fairly happy with porkbun, I would choose CloudFlare due to the services they offer, but considering they don’t support as many TLD’s, Porkbun would be my preference.

        I’ve used gandi for about 10 years as well, but they lost me to porkbun with their recent not-so-well communicated price increases (including dropping the small free email mailboxes)

      I can’t speak to long term, but I just registered my first domain through them yesterday and it seemed fine. Better than other small services I’ve used in the past, for sure.

      Been using them for years and aside from a single domain at Google (rip) I have been using them exclusively for the last couple of years. Hard to beat the prices and the support is top-notch.

      And who doesn’t love a cute little piggie!

      I’m in the minority here when I say this and my situation may have been a very very special case or something but I tried transferring one of my domains from Gandi to Porkbun (after the new price increase). Upon paying, they needed to do extra verification which involved taking a selfie and sending a photo of my government ID.

      I don’t really know what triggered this (Gandi has never asked for a selfie and government ID) so I moved elsewhere. Unfortunately, they still haven’t refunded me for the cancelled transaction but in the support email, they said they already did and it might take some time before it’s processed or whatever. It’s been almost 20 days since then. I probably need to contact my bank tomorrow.

      Again, I’m not trying to besmirch Porkbun but I felt like mentioning this anyway. They’re support team replies very fast however and they’re really nice.

        That’s a fair question, I agree with the other commenter that they’re targeting a different market. It took me a while to even find pricing on their website specifically for domains, but did find this faq:

        How much does a domain name cost with Squarespace? All Squarespace sites on an annual plan include one custom domain, free for its first year. Additional domains are between $20 and $70 per year.

        Minimum $20/yr is more expensive than some other registrars. I’m not even sure if you can register domains normally without also paying for other services from squarespace, but I’ve never seen them mentioned when talking about domain registrars either.

        All I need is the ability to register domains, have domain whois privacy, and the ability to change nameservers. Squarespace has a lot of other products that I’m not interested in, and if they aren’t making money off of domain renewals - I’d fully expect to be peppered with ads and marketing trying to upsell me. I don’t have any prior experience with squarespace, but I do have experience with several others that I’d consider moving more domains over to first.

          Really appreciate the response - thank you.

          I just had a handful of domains tick over renewal on Google Domains in the past week, so I suppose I’ll have some time to see what Squarespace is like from an administration perspective before I end up having to commit to renewing with them.

    I pay for my .dev, I’m concerned that .dev will now be abused for spam and will have its reputation destroyed, especially for sending emails.

      If I remember correctly, I had to link my github account to get this, but I believe that was just for the free part.

      It’s been active for longer than that, it’s unlikely that you would have gotten it for free without letting it lapse, losing it and then buying it fresh on porkbun.

    Oh thanks for this! I’ve been considering transferring all of my google domains to them, but wasn’t sure if I wanted to pull the trigger yet. Now I can test them out.

      No, CloudFlare doesn’t support these TLD’s, but if they pick it up in the next year you’ll be able to before renewing.

      It is likely however that CloudFlare will increase their TLD catalogue with Google Domains bowing out.

      In the meantime, you can give CloudFlare your DNS in porkbun, which is what I’m doing.

        They don’t yet support these TLDs, but according to this blog post they will be added very soon:

        Note: We plan to support .dev and .app by mid-July 2023.

        Perfect!

        I’m hoping they pick up a few more as well. Lots of great vanity ones going around now that I would love them to adopt.
