I really wish I could find a good solution for generic wildcard forwarding of email my registrar provides I'd move everything to CloudFlare instantly if I could find a way to get *@mydomain.com for all mess of domains without having to run my own email server or pay a bunch of money per domain.

I though namecheap was one of the better ones around? I'm looking for a domain registrar. Could share the link with namecheap horror stories? Thanks
If you are using PrivateInternetAccess, you can't login to your NameCheap account. As in, your valid username and password will be rejected. This happens even if you have 2fa enabled. I reset my password twice (even though I _knew_ the original because I use a password manager) before I opened a support case, and they confirmed that they block legitimate logins if they detect you're using a VPN. I wanted to move off…
While Cloudflare appears to be doing things that are meant to help everyday people, I can't help but be suspicious. This is an organization that sticks with the "we don't host" bullshit line when web sites serve up Trojans which pretend to be Adobe Flash installers. While there's more subjectivity involved with dealing with hosting the content of spammers, there is zero subjectivity involved with clear and obvious ph…
Cheap trick, don't use it.
I wonder why nobody has mentioned Njalla [0] yet. >We want to keep things simple and we're not trying to compete on price but security. We will never be the cheapest domain name registration service but we'll always be the most privacy centered one You sign up with email or XMPP+OTR, they send mails PGP signed + encrypted (using info from key server or the key you uploaded), they have app based (TOTP) 2FA and they ac…
I like and use Njalla, but you should be aware of what you're getting into: > When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. It's not at all unlikely that they will eventually be shut down very hard. Please do not use them (or, as long as I'm here, any ccTLD, but that's another story) for any serious/long-term purpose.
What? I was under the impression that this practice, although common in the past (especially with dodgy registrars), wasn’t even allowed anymore? I’m pretty sure that at least some TLD registries (like IIS for .se and .nu domains) disallow this practice completely, for good reasons.
I am mainly using italian company Tophost to register my domains, and domains usually cost cost 5.99€+ vat. And they're still making profit from that. So I kinda call bs on this "no added fees".
OTOH, I have to say that Tophost is not the prettiest or the coolest, but so far I had no real issue and the price is low.
However, it's nice to see another player joining the game.
Regarding the $0.99 domain... Didn't it sound alarming that you pay a domain so little?

Gandi is good, I think the site upgrade is done now so there won't be much clunkiness for new domains. They're more expensive than most, but I've had no problems. I only use their DNS though, I can't comment on mail, mail forwarding or hosting.

Gandi are nice to you until you move your domain somewhere else, at which point they will immediately drop the privacy on your whois record until their version expires, as a nice parting gift. I complained to their support when that happened and they basically lied to my face, pretending to see only the new registrar's whois. Caveat emptor.

In any case, the Verisign fee is not hard to confirm; it would be weird for them to lie about it: https://investor.verisign.com/news-releases/news-release-det...

I'd say give namesilo.com a shot. $8.99 .coms as a base price, free whois guard for life, solid support and no up-sell spam or BS. I moved almost all of my domains there over the last year'ish.
