[–] esw 12y ago ↗ Hover, Gandi and Namecheap are the suggestions you're likely to get here. They're all fine.
[–] mchannon 12y ago ↗ For quickie or throwaway projects, dot.tk is pretty useful.I use Namecheap for everything else, but when my budget is $0, dot.tk works just fine.
[–] workhere-io 12y ago ↗ Gandi or Namecheap.Namecheap is cheaper than Gandi when it comes to .com domains. However, Gandi's domains include IMAP/POP (1 GB) hosted in France, and they have more TLDs than Namecheap.
