Well.  The domain registrar I've used for years, gandi, has gone through a series of ownership changes and has drastically raised rates on #domains.  Looking for a new home that is privacy-respecting.

Several of them seem to not let you run your own nameservers anymore (ugh).  #gandi offered to let them run the #nameservers, let me run the primary and they run the secondary, or run it all myself.  I always had them as secondary and that worked quite well.  Anyone else still do this?  #askfedi 

 @c8fadb91 I've used Arvixe for many years for both domain registry and webhosting. Not the best for support, by far not the worst, but  you can point your nameservers wherever you like. As for privacy, I've never seen any issues coming from them. I'm not a very tech person, you may have specific needs.
