  • Well, nameservers control what your domain’s DNS show, so reasons for switching might be:

    • more DNS servers locations
    • better DNS servers uptime
    • support for some special features

    As for the special features, some providers allow you to do stuff otherwise impossible, for example with AWS you can set your base domain as an alias to a different domain, which is not possible in raw DNS (you can’t set CNAME on your base domain). I think CloudFlare supports something similar.

    Whether any of those applies to you is something you will have to research on your own, I don’t use namecheap, nor hetzner (not for dns anyway).

    Well, It Just Works™. Until recently I haven’t had any reason to change. It’s user friendly, easy to set up and looks great.

    Though I’ll be switching to Jellyfin soon, when I have the time, because (for reasons irrelevant to this comment) my NAS where Plex is located doesn’t have access to the internet which somehow means Plex cannot show me my local files which I’m not particularly fond of.

    What I’ll be missing when I make the switch is an app for Tizen TVs.
