Hi all

I'm looking to migrate away from Fasthosts as my Domain Name registrar.

Any suggestions for alternatives?

I need good up time and full edit access to all the DNS sections (A, TXT etc). Cost is a factor but not essential - I'll be passing all costs to website customers

TIA

Any reasons why?

Fasthosts recently put their prices up - massively.

I used to do all my hosting needs through them but I became increasingly dissatisfied with their performance. It came to a head when I started coding to PHP7 standards and their hosting couldn't cope. I was pissed off with their attitude to SSL Certs and Let's Encrypt - basically they want you to pay through the nose for certs. Same for mailboxes bigger than 100Mb (fine for POP but most people use IMAP these days) - expensive.

I'm in the process of moving my websites to Cloudways (who I'm very impressed with) and email to Zoho, Migadu and Mailjet. Just need to find a home for my domains now...
