GoDaddy is the giant US registrar famous for aggressive upsells. Like any US company, GoDaddy also puts your domains under US jurisdiction. Europe has excellent ICANN-accredited registrars that keep your domains, DNS and WHOIS under EU or EFTA law.

France's Gandi is the long-loved classic; OVHcloud and Netim, Germany's INWX, IONOS and Joker.com, and the Netherlands' Openprovider cover everything from a single .com to thousands of managed domains. Switzerland's Infomaniak, Luxembourg's EuroDNS, Belgium's Combell and Finland's NordName round out a field strong on DNSSEC, privacy and green hosting.

Here are the European domain registrars worth moving your names to.
