Transfer your domain to a major registrar. Tierra.net looks like some bs cheap registrar and doesn't have any social media updates on their accounts since 2017. I'd recommend Namecheap.
- wolco 8y agosocial media updates is not the best marker of current business activity.
- chiefalchemist 8y agoPerhaps. But surely they've run into some sort of technical issue from time to time. Isn't posting such to Twitter a reasonable expectation? I mean, if they don't want to proactively communicate with customers, maybe they have a culture where they don't want to hear from customers at all? Hello Google ;)
- indigodaddy 8y agoEven a solid company like Namecheap wouldn't actually be appropriate for a large, enterprise corporation such as Zoho.
- kbd 8y agoWhy not?
- thomasfortes 8y agoProbably because you want enterprise grade support, a real person that you can call and will help you solve your problems without having to deal with low level support before.
- FabioFleitas 8y agoWhat would you recommend?
- gbrayut 8y agoWhen I worked as an SRE at Stack Overflow we used name.com for all our domains (and R53/GCP/Azure for DNS). Never had any issues, and worth adding to any short list you come up with. If you do whois lookups against the top 50 websites you'll see a lot of them use a small set of registrar's. But not all of them accept small businesses.
- akvadrako 8y agoI use name.com for all my personal domains because it's cheap and supports a lot of unusual TLDs. But I would never trust a $100M company to it. Who cares about saving ~ $100/year.
- indigodaddy 8y agoProbably something similar to CSC Global.
- protomyth 8y agoI get the feeling a lot of folks ended up there from Domain Discover which had good ratings back in the day. They actually aren't that cheap.
- ethanwillis 8y agoI don't recommend Namecheap. A few months ago they dumped all of my private information erroneously, including physical address, for a whois guarded domain. They admitted to it too and all they offered me was $100 in Namecheap credit. Spoke with lawyers and from what i was told in consultations there's basically nothing I can do about it. TL;DR Namecheap will endanger your family and they give 0 fucks.
- highclass 8y agoNamecheap is just as bad, check out https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14139288 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14139288 I almost has a domain frozen with namecheap after one warning. If I missed the warning email or checked my email after 24 hours they would have completely suspended my domain. I'm talking about a site with MILLIONS of visitors per month and ten thousands of posts per day, not some small blog.
