Consider new DNS provider

[jpmckinney]

• Cloudflare - solid DNS provider, offering lots of other features like DOS protection. Also have a very generous free tier
• DNS Made Easy - whom Dogsbody uses for their own domains

Cloudflare Registrar has limited support for ccTLDs (e.g. no eu), and it will be annoying to have multiple registrars.

Cloudflare DNS' free tier looks fine for our needs.

I think I prefer Cloudflare to DNS Made Easy, since we could expand to use more of Cloudflare's features, and DNS Made Easy doesn't have a free tier.

The other option is to move the Namecheap.

We have 8 domains: 5 are redirects (.com, .info, .health, contracting5.org, oc-challenge.org), two are small campaign/event websites (open-procurement.nl, open-spending.eu). Our main domain has a lot of DNS records.

Looks like it should be easy to import/export DNS records from GoDaddy to Cloudflare: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/how-to-migrate-dns-from-godaddy-to-cloudflare/397310

It might be worth switching DNS, but we probably want to decide whether to keep all 8 domains before switching registrar. Also, a couple domains are registered until 2026 and 2028 with GoDaddy.

GoDaddy isn't the best, but I'm unsure the benefits of Cloudflare are presently worth the switching costs, so closing for now.

Noting that we do have a Cloudflare account as mentioned here: https://ocdsdeploy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/index.html#hosting

Since we already have the account, I'm okay with splitting domains across both.

Cloudflare offers DMARC Management but this requires Cloudflare DNS.

Re-opening since we might use Cloudflare for DMARC as well.
