It's shorter to write down a list of good actors.
Generally I just assume a good old fashioned "48 hours", like in the olden days, and I have yet to be disappointed.
- anderspitman 5y agoThere's a lot of cool services that could be built on top of shorter/predictable TTLs. I'm on a mission to make domain names easy enough for the average person to use, and selling someone a product that can't be used for 48 hours is quite disappointing.

- tyingq 5y agoThere are other things you can't control. Like when NS records for a new domain show up in the servers for the TLD. I suppose it's reasonable that you could provide a better estimate for new domains and transfers based on past experience and existing TTLs. But it will be an estimate. And the estimates would be individual or sub-group ones, like "estimate for a new .com domain" and "specific estimate for transfer of this domain", etc.
