Great experience but has scope of improvement.

But I think you need to verify the ID's a bit differently. For eg: it could be a non resident of a country living in another country as a expat and might provide the Id proof of the home/current residential country.

Since both are govt ID's, they should be acceptable either way.

Troy goes above and beyond for customer satisfaction.

I was contacted by your representative in a timely manner. He was friendly and patient. He also helped me out tremendously. I value good customer service, and his was excellent. I believe his name was Troy. He definitely deserves a raise.

Porkbun is actually... fun

Everything about this company makes a very boring thing, purchasing and managing web domains, actually fun. I just love that aspect of their company persona so much. I genuinely hope they never change!

Great so far

Great so far, but the web gui for domain management is not super intuitive for certain tld. Some settings jump back to the old value after applying changes, and this makes it unclear if a config got updated or not. This could need some improvement. Everything else is fine.

Seamless Process, No Issues, Quick Setup

I usually don't write reviews, but the ordering process was simple, with absolutely no issues, not even with the payment. The domain was quickly set up (if you can call it that), and I was able to use it within seconds. I can't say anything about the support yet, as there haven't been any problems, unlike with other providers.

They don't have in place a functional and common sensical protocol to fix the bugs of their products and so on.

Their customer services is clean and nice, but they don't have ways of solving issues and really serving people.

I guess more expensive services like Google and others are worth paying the extra because they do a better job.

Hello, I found your ticket and I am sorry that you experienced issues with the email web client that is currently in beta. It does look like the support rep tried to help troubleshoot the issue and you were very rude, using profanity / etc. Anyhow, if you're not happy with the service you can ask for a refund and we'll gladly cancel and refund your money. Thanks.

Customer Service is everything to me…

Customer Service is everything to me and email exchanges, can become very tedious and overly time consuming for both parties.
I really appreciated Andy at Porkbun(s) time and patience, in taking a few minutes over the phone, securing my domain.

Excellent support

My ID verification was pending so I sent an email to their support team. Although I reached out to them outside business hours, they approved my ID and replied to my email within just 5 minutes. My domain purchase was smooth and hassle free and the overall experience with Porkbun is so far positive. Thanks to all the Redditors who have suggested me Porkbun over other domain registrars.

Porkbun is the best!

Porkbun makes finding, buying, and managing domains simple and fun. It's clear the team doesn't take themselves too seriously by the funny and witty commentary on the site. It makes the experience more human and relatable.

After doing some research on TLD…

After doing some research on TLD registrars, I decided to give "porkbun.com" a try. Their website did an excellent job of laying things out clearly (e.g., domain name pricing, set up, additional services, account setup, email hosting etc.) Freebies and 15-day email trial also contributed to my 5-star rating. Looking forward to continuing to work with these guys/gals... Thanks Porkbun! (Still hoping you'd include some info on your website on how the name came about...)

So far so good

So far so good. No issue, except a very minor one - I had auto renew on, but on the due/expiry date I received "renewal failed" notification because I don't have any payment method. Fair enough, but don't tell me that auto renew is on if I don't even have a payment method.

Cheap and fast…

Bought a .top domain and paid 40$ for 10 years. The name was active after 5 minutes. 5 stars for price and effectiveness: I cannot judge on service quality yet.

Honest, fast, simple—everything I could hope for in a registrar

I have well over a dozen domains with Porkbun and have yet to find a reason to look elsewhere. Honest pricing, fast support responses, and simple domain management tools—consider me thoroughly impressed. Prices are pretty competitive, with registrations often going on sale for certain TLDs. Lastly, the few times I've used their technical support they've been immensely helpful & responsive. In short: pretty much everything I could hope for in a registrar.

Simple

Simple, solid, clear, with just enough flavour to make the whole experience light and cheery. As a bonus, they were a touch less expensive than other services I've used - even those who clame to be cheap. Will definitely be a returning customer.
