I switched from Godaddy to Moniker a little while back---quick, easy to use, and price-competitive. They're outside the US (in Canada), too.


Moniker is in Florida and their parent co. has offices in NY, Portland and Germany.


tucows used to be Canadian, IIRC (Toronto?). Rebranded or sold the domain business to Hover; not sure about them.

Hover seems to have a decent reputation, and are fairly price competitive. Not as cheap as e.g. Namecheap, but close.

With all the seizure BS and whatnot, I'm thinking of moving some things really off-shore. Maybe Switzerland? Or I recently read that the Bahamas are good at telling various law enforcement agencies to f-off. Not sure I believe it, though.

(I'm not actually running anything gray, let alone black. I'd move partly on principle, and partly because things only look to get worse.

For me, it would be more a matter of free speech. Perhaps also free and anonymous speech (at least, anonymous to most private and commercial interests).

P.S. freejack, I just noticed one of your other comments. You're with Tucows? Are you still (really) Canadian? Are Canadian registrars holding their own against Washington (and, these days, Ottawa, I guess)?
