Now I'm curious how the data looks for us nerds over here on the fediverse: where do you register your domains?
If at multiple places, let's interpret this as if you were registering a domain today, where would you register it?
tackily if you don't mind boosting I'd actually like a lot of data on this I'm really curious!

@gintoxicating NEVER use fuckin godaddy! They steal domains
@liilliil I've known they are notorious at front running - which I'd pedantically not want to call stealing - but yeah there are a bunch of posts where they just take domains - which I would call stealing :D
Did you have a direct experience? (Not asking for proof - just curious if you have a story!)
@gintoxicating Yes, they stole domains from my clients, they stole the domain from me personally. Cynically and brazenly.
@liilliil @gintoxicating which is why I use #ClouDNS!
@kkarhan @gintoxicating I've used a dozen different registrars, and none of them have ever stolen domains from me as brazenly as this
GD is obvious criminals
@liilliil @gintoxicating I never had problems with the few I used, but I also avoided shitshows like GoDaddy, NameCheap, ClownFlare & Hetzner.
The latter one I had to deal with at work years ago, and I'd consider them criminally incompetent…
