Ask HN: Which domain registrar and hosting provider do you prefer?

Long time ago tried Gandi.net because of their "no bullshit" policy and stayed with them because it's true. Also looked at namecheap but when they insisted on copy of my id it ended with me never returning.

I use Kimsufi for hosting and never had any issues. Was a customer of online.net at the same time but only until the recent price hike.

Another vote for Gandi from me for domain registrar. A lot of people don't seem to like the new web UI, but I'm satisfied with their offerings.

I'm a longtime Gandi user. But I absolutely loathe the new web UI. To the point where i'm considering moving my 200+ domains somewhere else.

At the time I chose Gandi for the 2 factor auth, and because it was a European company, but in the meantime there is plenty of other registrars offering the same.

Just curious, but who does that? I can only afford to renew a small handful of domains, never mind 200+. I presume they are all monetized in some way?

In my case, it's return on investment. If I create some code for one city. Why not use that code for city X.com, city Y.com, city Z.com, ... I'm not saying it couldn't be done a different way. Using just one domain.
