I am still baffled.. compare a domain like .party or .parts between porkbun or your major US based providers and a EU based registrar of your choosing.... It's not pretty, at least it wasn't to me.
And the situation for autorenewal is terrible. At least when using their Spanish site (inwx.es) they cannot do autorenewal billed directly to your credit card or Paypal account, you have to previously add credit to your account "balance" and leave it hanging there until your next renewal.
Somebody mentioned openprovider.com and I'm taking a look because it looks interesting.
I must say though that this (at this stage) is mostly only possible because a few (also Dutch) reseller titans that allow me to be affordable.
The cost of entry as registrar into ICANN TLDs is pretty high
It is not a super fancy website, and the company is pretty old, but I don't really need a lot from my DNS provider anyways.
