Some of you have asked about why Dynadot was excluded from this comparison since I've recommended them in the past.
*Why was Dynadot excluded?* - The reason I didn't include Dynadot this time around is because I can only include so many registrars. I have to keep a mix of "popular" options (GoDaddy, Hover, Domain.com, etc) and lesser known options like Porkbun, Dynadot, NameSilo, etc. This is the first year I included Cloudflare Domains, so Dynadot didn't get put in this time as Porkbun is such a big registrar in my day to day usage.
*Do I still recommend them?* - I'm overall a fan of them. I like their ethics, I like what they're doing. They are straight forward and no nonsense similar to Porkbun. However, I find their management panel confusing (probably on the same level as Porkbun, just in different ways), and I feel like they've lacked improvements and innovation in recent years. They do offer great service, but their panel and experience has started to feel stale, and since they cost a bit more than Porkbun, I personally favor Porkbun for that "budget" slot.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! for your amazing, easy to understand, and comprehensive information sets!...I follow a lot of channels learning the best in digital strategy and I can tell you that you are hands down, one of my favorite new go-tos!...you are awesome!...keep up the fantastic job
Excellent video! Thank you for your well thought out explanations and recommendations!
@15:49 is my favorite part of this video. Thanks for the presentation & very useful information.
Amazing review! Very user oriented and on point. Instant subscriber :)
This is a thorough review, thank you!
thanks you made it clear and easier for me to choose.
Good job man! Thank's for sharing, you the boss 😎
Very helpful..
I've subscribed dear..😁👏👏🏾👏🏼
Thank you very much -- this is especially important after Google Domains just sold.
this is what I needed, thanks
Hey man love the video, and a question, could i use home adress to buy a domain?
Given the times we live in privacy protection should be included free of charge
Cant stop watching
Thanks, your videos help. Please do a review video on boutique domain registrars with the very best customer service for rank beginners for whom money is not an issue, service is. Also, something on the most privacy-oriented domain registrars, who have very strict policies about revealing nothing to anyone without valid paperwork.
Thanks! I am totally agree with you in that one video!
I had my domain in the godaddy basket and was about to buy it, got google one instaed, thank you!
awesome simple video
Namesilo is the cheapest place to get domain names. Cloud flare has raised all their pricing this year and is no longer the bargain hunter’s delight.
They raised because wholesale domains got more expensive
Amazing, thank you so much
After watching your videos on where to buy a domain I bought my domain from Pork bun.
hey Craylor - question. have you ever had scammy interactions with Namecheap? I bought a domain, was locked out of my account a week later due to security concerns, meanwhile my purchase was refunded and the domain name was bought up 30 minutes after i was locked out of my namecheap account and raised a ticket. Does this feel scammy to you? What is going on here???
Hi friend... i would like to ask you is there any tools for Domain Registrars - to directly create domains and manage. as i am registering for aggregated registrar - i need EPP tools, and domain manage tools kindly please guide me or suggest me any tools for this.
Hover is the best, straight to the point, no crap added but is more expensive.
What is a TLD? Sorry I’m a newbie so you can buy your domain name from a cheap place and get a hostess site hosting site for your webpage not with the same domain carriers? It that what wix is?
Have you tried bluehost? Thanks
Thanks Christian
does ANYONE discuss the upsells?!?!? what do we need BESIDES or in conjunction with the domain name???
Thank you so much you get a subscriber
Your comments about Domain registry services are great, THanks. I am needing to move away from all of GoDaddy including their 365 email services. I am an oldie but feel like a noobie. 4 domains, each with email addresses that I cannot let go. what do you suggest?
Did they let you move your domajn
HNS handshake is the future.
You’re welcome
great video
Love PorkBun as they support all my TLD's.
Hey I wanted to thank you for the detailed vid. After watching I feel pork bun would serve me best as well, but then I realized this is slightly outdated. Do you still have the same opinion?
Yes, still a big fan of Porkbun! I also published an updated domain registrar comparison a few weeks ago.
I'm going with google domains this time. I've heavily in the google ecosystem for better or worse so it makes sense. I did use dynalist last time per your recommendation and have been happy with it but I think google will be more convenient long term.
Your soul is owned by Google
and now google has ended their service...
Never trust google, their history has demonstrated they can't keep a service alive longer than 1 year.

Hi Carylor, if I buy a domain from namecheap will be able to transfer the domain etc? Or is it like cloudflare where my domain will be stuck there?
You can transfer your domain anywhere when you register it at Namecheap. But please note, when you register a domain anywhere, you may have to wait up to 60 days before you can transfer it between registrars.
Also, just to clarify, you _can_ transfer your domain from Cloudflare, you just can't point it to third-party nameservers while it is held at Cloudflare and must use Cloudflare DNS until you transfer to another registrar. You can point your Namecheap domain to any nameservers.
which is the best Domain selling platform?? I 've my domain registered from google domain.
Good question.
What about hostinger?
You told me to use Dynadot for my domains . Now they dont even appear on your list.
😭
I still am a fan of Dynadot. Sometimes I switch up domain registrars in my comparisons to keep it interesting, and it was important to include Cloudflare Domains this time around.
However, I have the same feelings about Dynadot as I do about Porkbun. Great budget option, great company. I have some domains with them.
I have 2months with them theres no refund to cancel my subscription did i have a choice i paid already no money back. 😢Thanks for your sharing i wish i knew before 😢😢
Wix doesn't have phone support, sooo frustrating.
Hey
Can you tell about Hostinger? Should I go for it?
Hi, look at a few hosting companies and check what is on offer then think which would work best with what you need, hope this helps, GC
Normally I buy from IONOS! the first year is £1 / year than £10 for Windows!
How do I tege
If I buy a domain in cloudflare .. how I conect the domain to my hosting cpanel ??? ... on namecheap I only change the nameserver to connect to the hosting ... How to do the same in cloudflare ??
You can’t change the nameservers in Cloudflare - you are forced to use the Cloudflare DNS management system for your domain.
Look for the server IP address in the right sidebar of cPanel and create an “A” record in Cloudflare with the value “@“ and the IP listed in cPanel. Then, create a CNAME record with the value “www” that points to “yourdomain.com” (fill in your domain name).
If you have any questions, hop in my Discord server and we can help you out!
@@Craylor It works perfectly to show the webste ... how to add dns for emails ?
Thanks bro great review although you just lost go daddy a customer haha
Porkbuns went up three times the amount. I looked yesterday it says $36 a year after free first year .Thanks. I'm not sure if you got it last week or last year if those prices are grandfathered in for the remainder of your time or do they go up, is that what any domain does?
Most registrars adjust their prices with industry fluctuations.
Most registrars intentionally make it extremely complicated to transfer your domain name/s to a new registrar, but when you buy a domain transfer at your new registrar, it’s usually a lot less expensive than renewing at your current registrar and it includes at least 1 year of additional registration.
Most domain registrars don’t want to lose customers so they make it nearly impossible to transfer away. For example, Network Solutions will flat out lie to you and say that it will be 24-48 hours before they can provide you with the “authorization code” (domain name transfer code). However, that’s a lie and asking for a manager will get you the code emailed right away.
Where is Namesilo?
You should add Gandi to the list.
Craylor, should I buy from google and then direct to WIX or buy from WIX directly? What are the disadvantages if I buy from google and direct to WIX, if any?
It will probably be cheaper if you buy from Google then direct to Wix
I too want to know the answer to this. Because from what I've seen on Wix, in order to connect a domain registrar to Wix, you need a premium plan on Wix anyways, so why purchase a domain registrar at all somewhere else if you're also going to be paying for a premium plan on Wix?
What about namesilo?
They are good, but the Ui is terrible.
Do you know anybody that buys a bunch of domain names? I got about 30 good domain names, I want to find someone that will buy all of them at once.
Wordpress hosting cheapest, cloudflare page is free 👍👍👍
10/10
You’re dope
$
They sold it to square space
What’s the cheapest Domain?
hoover is the best
Gooday, what a piece of crap. They lost 12 of our websites, their backup services failed and they offered up about $30 bucks to compensate us also 11 days of downtime for 36 emails
- JUST STAY AWAY...
Brother but the glasses u wearing are boring .
I personally prefer go daddy
rip google domains lol
Sounds like GoDaddy followed the Network Solutions business model.
I used onlydomains because that was the first place it sent me to when I was securing my brand presence on the knowem site.
