Between the desperately slow web app and awful customer support, I don't understand how anyone uses or recommends namecheap.
Cloudflare is the go to unless they don't have the tld.
- paulgb 3y agoCareful with Cloudflare, they don't let you change nameservers[1]: > Registrant agrees to use Cloudflare’s nameservers. REGISTRANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT MAY NOT CHANGE THE NAMESERVERS ON THE REGISTRAR SERVICES, AND THAT IT MUST TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY REGISTRAR IF IT WISHES TO CHANGE NAMESERVERS. So it's a no-go if you want to use Route 53 or something like that. [1] https://www.cloudflare.com/domain-registration-agreement/ https://www.cloudflare.com/domain-registration-agreement/
- notnmeyer 3y agohaha, wow... how shitty of them.
- henriquez 3y agoIt’s so they can better MitM your traffic, for your protection.
- slig 3y agoYou do not have to use their "cloud MitM" feature, it's just the NS that you can't change.
- henriquez 3y agoThey could switch your A records and still MitM your whole site. Granted I’m sure that would only happen if their CEO was really mad, but it just requires too much trust for my comfort.
- hardcopy 3y agoCloudflare registrar is poor recommendation because you are forced to use Cloudflare dns. I learned this the hard way when I had to use route 53 dns and had to wait 60 days to transfer. I don’t know how this is allowed, registrars should be required to let you set custom dns.
- jacooper 3y agoThe idea cloudflare binds you to cloudflare DNS, if you don't want to use it you are out of luck.
- jacooper 3y agoThe problem* thanks auto correct.
- LightHugger 3y agoCloudflare has a history of randomly hijacking the site without notification if they don't like you. So no.
- henriquez 3y agoOnly in extreme cases where their CEO disapproves of you.
