This is why it’s best to have one layer of indirection: in this case a personal domain that lets you move between providers. Same thing as running your site from mygreatcompany.com instead of geocities.com/mygreatcompany.
- Angostura 8y agoSame here. Bought a personal domain about 10 years ago as piece of mind. Does the job and my registrar handles e-mail forwarding including catchall which is handy for throwaway addresses
- daveFNbuck 8y agoThat's what I'm considering now, but I'm concerned that I'll forget to update my credit card information or make some other minor mistake with the registrar and lose my domain.
- macintux 8y agoI get hassled via email for months leading up to a renewal, and even if something goes wrong there's a grace period. It's really not a big deal. Were I smart, I'd set up a calendar reminder each year for my most important domains.
