Hello,
As you most probably all know, .ch domains which are still registered at
nic.ch have to be moved to another registrar by autumn 2016
(https://www.nic.ch/reg/cm/wcm-page/misc/aufgabentrennung.html).
But thanks to some recent marketing campaigns (like "Per 31. Dezember
2014 braucht Ihre .ch-Domain ein neues Zuhause!"), ads and newspaper
articles, some customers are already panicking, so I am also looking for
a new home for a few hundreds of self-hosted domains.
Requirements:
- it should be a registrar only company, if possible (to prevent
departure of customers to other hosting companies)
- customer billed directly
- DNSSEC / IPV6 capable
- no aggressive ads on checkout (add antivirus, add top listing, add
hosting, etc.)
At the moment, my first choice would be gandi.net, even if they are a
little bit more expensive than the others and they are also selling some
kind of hosting, because it "just works", and I like their "no
bullshit"
promise :)
But maybe there would be a more suitable alternative, so my question to
you if you are in a similar situation : which is your new .ch-registrar
and why ?
Thanks & kind regards,
Olivier
PS: just in case, here is the current list of .ch-Registrars according
to the official listing @ Switch, sorted by yearly-cost (no warranty of
correctness). 26 companies out of total 70 are not listed (no visible
public pricing, reseller-only, etc.) :
