Unfortunately yes, and I hate them with everything I've got.
INWX has been great so far, have been with them for about 6 years at this point. Also had good experiences with their customer support.
-1 for INWX. Still waiting on a domain transfer, domain is stuck for about a month, chat support was useless
+1 for INWX
I moved all my domains from Google to OVH, OVH have an API so you can get certs with certbot. You could also use the API to update records for a dynamic home broadband
I have a server with OVH. I hadn't realised they're a registrar also.

I’ve been a happy customer of Metaregistrar for over a decade. No complaints, fair prices. Just moved a .be from Gandi there because they wanted to charge me €30 excl. VAT for 1 year. Retail price of .be by DNS.be is about €5 and Metaregistrar only charges me €7,5 excl. VAT for a .be for a year. Was at Gandi with that domain because they used to offer free mailboxes with domain name registrations but have since stopped that. Shop around people!
Thanks for the tip, I'm getting pissed off at the Gandi .be prices as well, just ludicrous.
Tested porkbun and namecheap. Namecheap has a nice and reactive support from my experience. Porkbun also helped me quickly.
I've used two, NameCheap, and PorkBun.
Hated Namecheap, would never use them again. Janky pricing, tons of email spam, terrible UI.
Porkbun has been pretty great. Simple, solid prices, easy to use, no issues for about a year and a half.
I have two domains through Porkbun. Never had an issue with them. No-nonsense, simple UI, good prices.
I've been using Namecheap for almost a year now with no complaints
I’ve been with namecheap for years too. No complaints

Gor acquired and rised price.
