Recently registered some domains via Gandi and they were better than I
expected. Used them simply because they had the TLD I needed.


I use GoDaddy as well, who seem fine but charge extra for proper tools
you'd need if hosting a lot and/or important domains.

Really what you want to know is how good and fast they are when manual
intervention is needed, and that is hard to assess, bit like buying
insurance. GoDaddy weren't lightening fast but You get competent help
when they reach your issue in the queue.

At ZyNet we used OpenSRS, who were expensive but good in the one crisis
we had. Mostly we used them for the wide range of domains, and were
acting as a reseller.

Ask more specific question for more specific answers.

E.g
What TLDs
Is DNSSEC required?
Is IPSEC required?
Will you be using the providers DNS servers?


        



Thank you very much for the advice folks. Much appreciated. :-)

I was interested in .online .family .web .digital .app .site .email to name the few of most relevance.

I am afraid I do not know what DNSSEC or IPSEC is! The domains won't be used for a client/business. A small site and maybe some email boxes.

Best wishes
Roly :-)
