Every time this comes up people mention Porkbun and Namecheap, amongst others. I transferred to Porkbun and I have no complaints. Here's their page on transferring. They aren't located in Europe.

Same here, Porkbun is great so far.
I'm with Namecheap, I have heard some stories of bad practices but personally have not experienced any issues.
Same here on my end. I've heard some bad stuff but they've been fine for me too
I heard about it too, they are not European, let's see if there is anyone who has a European suggestion
Check this out: https://european-alternatives.eu/category/domain-name-registrar
Openprovider seems decent.
Moved all my domains to OVH, as they have an API I can get wild card certificates with
Contabo.de allows Domain management and has a nice dns configuration interface.
List of pure European domain name registrars:

I’ve moved mine to Infomaniak (Switzerland), no complaints so far!
It seems interesting but they ask for more than 21 euros and the annual cost is not clear, OVH for example asks for 6.90 euros
It’s a bit chaotic, and they try to force you to pay for other stuff in the process, but the prices were not that far off from other registrars. Note that I use DeSEC for the actual nameservers though.
domainindia.com
I'm not inidian btw
It's a global service, not just for India.
sorry, I was looking for a European service and I thought it was a purely Indian service
