Good if all that matters are simple domains

The ability to configure your sub-domains to point to different apps (eg GSuite, Cloudflare etc) without having to host them yourself is very useful. There's no way to add custom records (e.g. CAA records for Let's Encrypt). This makes it less flexible than other providers when building out more complex configurations. It's hard to debug issues with the UI; you're better off digging into logs to find relevant information. It's easy to set up and administer, so we didn't have too many complaints

Pros
  • Simple setup process including free SSL certs that come bundled along side basic functionality
Cons
  • Not bad

Great solution for hassle no to many devs / clients

I love that it's easy enough even as non-technical people like me use them! It has saved us from having multiple providers with different names/domains etc., which was always confusing when we had more than 1 client or project at once - now everything just works together seamlessly (and saves money!). There isn't anything really bad i dislike so far but there might be something you're not aware off yet? Definitely try out their free trial first before committing yourself because some things…

Pros
  • This also includes great customer support too :) They do make changes occasionally where they update features without notice however these updates only improve user experience overall making sure everyone stays happy ;)
Cons
  • Nothing comes immediately across my mind unfortunately

DNSimple is a free API service for registering domains and managing DNS records

The ability to connect to the domain registrar through the API. This allows us to easily transfer domains between registrars, manage WHOIS records, and manage DNS records. They have an excellent support team. Not a lot, but I've never had a problem solving it. If you are looking for an easy to use API, this is the one! We are using it to automate the transfer of domains from one registrar to another. We're also using it to register domains. The best part I like most in this service is that it's

Pros
  • Easy to follow online step by steps.
  • And they always respond quickly if need assistance while testing some advanced feature (not available immediately)
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
