1 week in - Smooth sailing! I just purchased my domain, and the purchasing process was extremely easy and secure. After much research, I found that porkbun would be the most decent, high-performing, and budget-friendly option. Instead of resorting to hidden fees or domain-snatching and other sneaky tactics, the small team is highly transparent. However, I have to say this disclaimer: I literally just bought my domain last week, I've had no problems yet to report. I can't say much about customer support or troubleshooting etc. I can definitely say that, among all other options, porkbun offered the most straightforward price and the lowest price (if you factor in renewal!). 10 euros purchase 10 euros renewal. Other sites sold for 1-15 euros and renewed for 20-50 euros lol (that's where they get you!)

Hassle to buy Price good, however a domain that was available had message to notify y'all to purchase. Went back in and the price went up, still notify request. I went to GoDaddy and bought no issue.

It's very early, but so far I am quite impressed! I have barely begun to scratch the surface with Porkbun, only having just acquired my first domain this morning, so it will take some time for me to truly be able to review the registrar. I can say, however, the process to get going was a breeze, and I am floored at the included features. Biggest thing I like so far, are the security recommendations within my account.

I have tried several domain and hosting… I have tried several domain and hosting sites and Porkbun is by far the easiest and most intuitive to use. They also include add-ons like privacy and SSL that cost more on other sites.

Great Customer Support via Chat Great Customer Support via Chat! I was super confused with setting up the DKIM / SPF records via MailerLite, so I asked help from a chat representative. Trevor G. went above and beyond to help me with my issue! He helped me step by step through resolving some issues I had caused when trying to make changes to my DNS. He definitely knows what he is doing, and it was clear he showed deep care and interest in helping me out! I really appreciate when customer support goes above and beyond to help out the customer! He went out of his way to make sure I was fully taken care of, and ensured that my issue was fully resolved!
