I use www.inwx.de for years. Nothing to complain.

Another happy INWX user for 15+ years.

And another one, for 18 years.

They once gave my data to law enforcement without notifying me, with no obligations not to notify me. It wasn't even an investigation into me, but a shotgun "everyone who talked about this gets asked to testify" case, specifically into a Witcher 3 Google Drive leak.

That aside, they're fine.

That's enough for me to avoid this registrar for life.

When registrars requires users to divulge their private information, they become bound to fight tooth and nail to protect it for as long as they retain it.

Screw INWX for betraying their customers. Screw them.

"Your data", like what? The domains you own and their full whois entries?

> with no obligations not to notify me

While this might be true, they might have seen a risk in notifying you (at least while investigations were ongoing), consider e.g. https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/258.html

Also, how did you come to know about all this? Who notified you in the end?

> "Your data", like what? The domains you own and their full whois entries?

Single domain in, WHOIS data out.

I have a copy of the correspondence from Bundesamt fuer Justiz.

The cops questioning me did. I was actually under investigation for a different thing related to this website, so my lawyer got them to confirm it was indeed possibly related. They then dropped that investigation immediately, after months of nothing being added to the file (which I also have). While holding a pretty substantial bit of my hardware hostage. Weird how police work can be expedited when charges are obviously based on police not understanding how the internet (and Paragraph 10 TMG) works and they need to get something done for BfJ. Or maybe they did understand, but didn't want to afford those protections to an individual without commercial interest.

Mind that this was about 10 years ago by now.

Thanks for elaborating!

Do they not have no 2FA or am I not looking in the right place?

They do: https://www.inwx.de/en/offer/mobiletan.

Excellent, thanks!

They do, i use it with Google Authenticator.

BookMyName.com, just look at their interface! ;)

From the about page [1] they're Scaleway. Perhaps worth looking into!

I keep recommending iwantmyname, which is not Europe-based (NZ actually), but founded by some guys from Austria. I've been a customer for ten years now, and I haven't seen a nasty ReactJS redesign, or any other BS. Just a good registrar.

They have really high prices for some TLDs for some reason.

A .re domain is €14.28 with Gandi and €43.99 with iwantmyname.

What makes it worth the price? $19.99/yr for a .com is very expensive.

iwantmyname seems to be more expensive than Gandi, even after the price hike though.

I've been using OVH for over 10 years and I'm pretty happy with them.

Be wary of their support. Their services are hit or miss (and the misses are REALLY bad) and I experience complete incompetence on their side in both CA and PL.

I'm moving to netim.com which is another French registrar. They run their own email and seem to have a good reputation.

Was about to recommend Freethought [1] until I remembered we aren't in the EU any more.

I use eurodns.com since it supports a wide range or TLDs.
