Missing [Gandi.net](https://www.gandi.net/en-US) for Google Domains replacement. Incredible service.

Maybe we can have a HN wiki with all the resources and put a link on the banner.

I use Gandi for domains however I think people should be aware of this episode of outrageous unprofessionalism from them before deciding whether to use them or not https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822

They've been nothing short of professional for the decade and a half I've used them for domains. However, I would not recommend them for anything other than domains. I kinda wish they would drop the other products to be honest, but I guess they must make good money from the upsells.

https://tld-list.com or any other multi-TLD multi-registrar search is going to give you a better price than if you only go to a single registrar to get a domain.

I've tried really hard to not use google for search. But DDG is bad. I have it set as my default search. I find myself either:

1) trying duck duck go and then immediately re-searching in google to actually get relevant answers.

2) skipping the search bar and going immediately to google when I know DDG just isn't going to work.

Feels like back in the olden days when you had to try Altavista, Lycos and Yahoo to find what you're looking for.

I can live without chrome, calendars, gmail, maps and all the others. But they're still the best at search by a lot.

These list never have good alternatives for Google Voice which is probably the most important Google service I use.
