Gandi
French domain registrar and hosting provider: more than 750 extensions, SSL certificates, email and cloud. A .com renews at €38.38 a year and a .fr at €28.78.
A registrar is an accredited intermediary with the registries: you cannot code that, and owning your domain is not something to improvise. What you can do is choose well and not depend on one provider: keep the domain at a registrar of your choice, use its DNS or a free DNS service, and host the rest wherever you like. Gandi's value is in its reputation and independence, not in software.
What you lose
- Accreditation with the domain registries
- Management of more than 750 extensions
- DNS, SSL certificates and email in one place
- A French provider with a long track record
