Can you recommend a foreign registrar? I'm with a US Based one that started out great, but has been acquired twice now, by increasingly less relevant sounding businesses.

I've been looking for a foreign based registrar, preferably in the EU or iceland, that has really good domain management tools (my biggest problems with registrars are twofold- first many of them seem like fly by night operations, and the second is that their tools for managing domains are often very poor.)

I have a large number of domains to manage.



I use and highly recommend these two:

#1 = http://www.gandi.net/ - in France - with a lot of integrity. See https://www.gandi.net/no-bullshit Their domain management tools are great.

#2 = http://www.domaindiscount24.net/ - in Germany - the registrar for thepiratebay.org - that didn't shut it down despite many threats. Their domain management tools are ugly and cluttered, but work well once you get used to it.

... also ...

#3 = http://www.hover.com/ - in Canada - the retail front-end to OpenSRS/Tucows - a great reputable company around since 1994.


I also recommend gandi.net and they have decent tools to manage large numbers of domains although they don't have rock bottom prices.
