I use Gandi for domains & DNS too. I've never had any problems so far but I don't want any surprises... Where do you want to migrate? What is a better alternative?

I like Cloudflare and find them to be a very good value proposition. They have a domain registrar now as well, though I haven't tried that yet. https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar/

Cloudflare DNS is free, and they support DNSSEC (unlike Digital Ocean). The web UI is good, and there's an API, and Terraform provider.

Most providers (notably: AWS) don't support DNSSEC, because DNSSEC doesn't matter.

I moved a couple Namecheap domains to Cloudflare's registrar when they launched, no complaints here. One domain took a bit longer to transfer, but the first took only a few minutes so I didn't mind it at all. I already used them for DNS so it felt like a no-brainer.

I use Hover for DNS and domain registration, never had a problem and their interface and support is top-notch.

Same here. Wondering what alternative there is. Heard good things about https://porkbun.com/

I wish porkbun allowed easier DNS record management. It's very cute, but I cant edit a bind style file, which means a lot of extra clicks.

I'm using Porkbun and like it. I've used Namecheap, Cloudflare, Alibaba Cloud, and Gandi. I prefer Porkbun to all of them, but I'm a fan of simple, no-frills stuff.

I've used support twice when transferring domains into Porkbun and they were good. I transferred a domain out and has no issues. Their 2FA options are really good. They frequently have the best prices around (tld-list.com).

I used to use Gandi for all my domains. I've switched to OVH though. Their DNS also propagates in like a minute.
