Thank you Yar and Charley.
It seems that I only read the DNS section of one of the two domain queries.
I need to make the effort to scroll a bit more, the next time. haha
I have an account at DO that I have used to play with and destroy droplets
after.
For work, I am running a RustDesk server with them.
Charley, it seems that you made a good choice to stick with Gandhi as your
registrar, since:

.
Even though GCP is one of the leading cloud technologies companies, I can
avoid it but my brain hurts. Perhaps I need to stare at it longer.
Eight personal domains are the ones that I want to move out of Hostmonster,
because their prices are way too much for me, and tech support could be
better.
The yearly total paid gives me nausea, and the desire of moving somewhere
else comes to mind.
Anyway, I feel that I should look into Gandhi + DO.
I appreciate your input, thanks!

I remain quite happy with Gandi for both personal and
business domain
registrations. I’m moving substantially everything else to GCP, as they
have approximately the sophistication of AWS, but seem moderately less
ethically challenged. Also, their us-west1 region is low carbon.
I used to use Linode and I’m still migrating away from DO. Linode is
completely useless if you ever get DDoS’d, which hopefully you won’t, but
they’ll just shut you down and act like it’s your fault. DO is generally
fine, but they lack the technical sophistication of the large cloud
players, and that’s something I currently need.
It may not be anything you need, but GCP could still be worth trying.
There’s free credits and stuff and it can also be a useful skill, depending
on whether you ever want a job in the cloud space.
HTH,
Charley

Both sudo and omni use gandi as a registrar and DO as a vps host. Sudo
also uses DO as a nameserver, while omni uses cloudflare.
I have been using DO for vps for a long time, and have never had much
of a reason to switch. Lately they've been focusing more on scale, and
less on innovative ux features, which is disappointing but not
surprising. I'm open to other suggestions but it's worked fine for me
and my projects. I used to like Linode because of their OS support and
lish (i wish everything had lish) but they got too expensive.
I used to always use DO for nameservers, but cloudflare has better
support for certbot which has won me over lately - they make it easy
to create access tokens with granular permissions to eg renew a
wildcard cert and nothing else. Cloudflare is not a particularly
ethical choice, they're a mini empire who doesn't give a shit about
you, but they're dev friendly and less evil than amazon, and tbh this
is low on the list of things that keeps me up at night.
The last time I seriously researched registrars was about a decade
ago, and I settled then on gandi, mostly because of DNSSEC support.

hello folks,
I see that Omnicommons.org uses Gandi, and sudoroom.org uses
DigitalOcean.
Are any of these two still okay to support or do
you know of any other
options that I should consider?
Many thanks in advance,
daniel
