Yep, even more than NameSilo (all algorithms + possibility to enter keyData).
Also, they properly support nameserver delegation and glue (i.e. pretty.tld IN NS pretty.tld), few (if any?) other registrars do.

cheers for clarification on porkbun's DNSSEC support
Namesilo is fast and great, don't need to contact any support. Namecheap used to be the same, not anymore as became very greedy, UI is terrible now and support is useless.
Updating nameservers at Namecheap:
Do your changes, wait 30mins, find out it did not work, contact support, chat for another 10mins, probably get it done.
Updating nameservers at Namesilo:
Do your changes. Done.
This is my foremost experience with both over the last years. I had to contact Namecheap's support for the simplest things. They mostly got it done, but it took quite some time. Never had to contact Namesilo's support for anything. No idea about porkbun.
PorkBun web page is a free template……So I have no confidence……
Pretty sure Porkbun's parent company sells the ccTLD
I have several domains with them, they're pretty great so far. No fuss, the design's alright. I also have domains with Namesilo and Namecheap.
I'd choose namesilo and porkbun over namecheap anyday, NC's interface is too slow..
namesilo's website is very simple. I like the actual things.
I have to commend Porkbun for being (still) open to tech-savvy suggestions. When I contacted them about some needless limitation - disallowing naked domain for NS - they acknowledged it and fixed things in a snap. Namesilo's answer was more like "dear customer #398203, can't do, won't do, it's not a bug it's a feature, bye".
I personally love the NameSilo Web 1.0 UI and fucking hate the bloated Namecheap Web 2.0 UI. I haven't used Porkbun, will try them out sometime. The Web 3.0 UI, whatever that is, keeps me thinking, if Web 1.0 is fine and 2.0 is shite, does this mean Web 3.0 is fucking terrible? Guess I'll find out.
Jewish people may have the same reaction. Indeed, vegetarians may have the same reaction!
Personally, I would never have thought of using porkbun as a name for a registrar ...
Imo, web3.0 means minimalistic that doesnt look shite and lets you get to the shit you want without archaic menu structures.
NameSilo works fine, cheapest you can find, including renewals.
until you use epik.com
Just asking because I almost never see people mention OVH as registrar. Why? Are they bad in some ways or the lack of support, ...?
Ovh is cheap and they support dnssec. I am thinking to move 100+ domains .es and .com to them.
At epik.com I see $35.00 .com .net and .org renewals
Didn't see their pricing yet but if that's true, then that's super expensive.
Not for 1996.
Outdated prices then...
Very good epik.com registrar, I can say more anonymous registrar as no one know where they are located (info from whois):

I'd try porkbun if they developed their API more. At a minimum, able to change contacts, nameservers, DNS, url/email forwarding, resend/check RAA verification status of gTLDs.
ask their live chat but only for .com.
I'll add screenshot laterScreenshot
Namecheap also only supports SMS-based 2FA, bah. Everyone else supports Authenticator-style.
they're ICANN accredited registrar.
https://www.epik.com/about/contact/?ln=en
that their contact address.
even if they said where they are we dont know they tell the truth right? like internetbs
They have their own app now.. Appears to be based on Authy, but require their own App downloaded.
Instead I think it's pretty classic. Because English is not my native language, I can still understand their interface.And give me the feeling of professional safety.
Hmm, not sure if I noticed that before, but no I don't want another TOTP app, I already have a perfectly good one. Thanks for the info though.
I use namesilo for all my domains. UI is old but it works well and fast. Good WHMCS Plugin too.
I think a lot of people will chose NameSilo
