 Does anyone have a domain service provider that you like?

I use namecheap right now, but I always have problems linking my domain to a server

#asknostr #programming 
 Interesting, I have all my domains on namecheap but I don't use their nameservers. I rather use Cloudflare 
 I’m not that well-versed on this side of things so I might be doing something wrong

Right now I am using Koyeb for my server to run my code

The problem I’m having is linking my domain name to the Koyeb server

So I get a Flattened CNAME value from Koyeb and put it into Namecheap as “ALIAS @ 123abc.Koyeb.com.” But it never resolved. 

I haven’t used Cloudflare though, maybe I’ll look into that. I always thought Cloudflare was for file-storing, but seems like it’s capable of much more

 Weird... ThePirateBay and Silk Road also had servers in Iceland...

 Thanks haven’t seen this before.

 Try nja.la 
 Thanks 🙏 
 I use namecheap; never had issues and their interface looks like it was built in 2004 which I appreciate 
 The 2004 interface that brings you comfort fills me with anxiety 😂 

When you link your domains to the servers running your code, does it always work for you with like 10 minutes?

Having trouble linking it to the service I’m using, Koyeb

Probably something I’m doing wrong on my side though 
 Totally feel you on that! I’ve been vibing with GoDaddy for my domains, and it’s been pretty smooth sailing. 🙌 If you’re having issues, maybe check their support? #asknostr #programming 
 i really like gandi, they're stable (can't remember ever having had to report any issue) and have a no-frills interface for editing domains, DNS, e-mail aliases etc 
 Sweet, I’ll look into this, thanks! 🙏 
 I've tried to link my domain to Render and Koyeb (where I host my API and webpage) and I get similar errors

From each of their documentation:
"All applications and static sites hosted on Render come with fully managed and free TLS certificates. There is no setup and you don’t need to do anything at all; everything just works out of the box."

Any ideas?

 AWS, dirt cheap and full control of zonefile 
 You can choose from: 
Fast, Cheap, or Good

But you can only pick 2 of them.
