- atYevP 6y agoYev from Backblaze here - it's been that kind of day.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoYou might consider moving your domain to Cloudflare or Markmonitor.
- atYevP 6y agoI've heard that a lot in the last hour. We'll be looking at all of our options once we get the service restored but that's priority #1.

- tedmcory77 6y agoYou've had a bad day, don't worry. Your customers <3 you.
- qwertykb 6y agoEveryone on our team at https://CHS.gg https://CHS.gg had a drink for y'all. I hope today is better Yev!
- atYevP 6y agoHey thanks! All things considered we got the site back up after 4 hours which is pretty speedy considering how long these things CAN last!
- EvangelicalPig 6y agoHow many hoops do you need to jump through (as a small to medium size company), to get an account at MarkMonitor, CSC or another one of those "brand protection" companies? Over the past 5 or so years I have noticed "previously safe" registrars (in terms of resistance to false abuse/DMCA complaints or social engineering attacks) get acquired by larger corporate interests and sometimes have a drop in quality as a result. MarkMonitor was acquired by a venture capital firm a few years ago as well. Good to have backup options on the table. (Before you ask. I am aware of the added costs of such services, and I don't have much faith in consumer registrars anymore.)
- toomuchtodo 6y agoEnough hoops that it’s a pain but not so many I wouldn’t recommend it. You want your domain management behind a door with a sign that says “beware of the leopard.” There are no great registrars, just registrars that suck less. I recommend Godaddy to no one.
- phendrenad2 6y agoIndustry ripe for YCombinator disruption, anyone? ;~)
- stevenicr 6y agoQuite shocked to see cloudflare mentioned here. Godaddy may have more sites pulled in the news, but cloudflare pulls sites too and worse. Surely there are more abuse hardened registrars than these two.
- EvangelicalPig 6y agoCloudflare has an enterprise plan that should in theory be more hardened against abuse complaints. I do agree about the sorry state of domain registrars these days.
- justinclift 6y agoEasyDNS, based in Canada, has a much better reputation for competence + not taking down domains willy nilly. ;)
