This scares me. I have a .dev domain, though managed through Cloudflare. I feel like I should get another from another gTLD not owned by Google... What do you

This scares me. I have a .dev domain, though managed through Cloudflare. I feel like I should get another from another gTLD not owned by Google...
What do you all think, are the .dev domains safe enough?
- rstat1 4y agoSafe enough. These sort of issues are rare enough that I don't think you have anything to worry about.
- doliveira 4y agoThe issues themselves may be rare, but abysmal customer support is quite typical from Google. And if there's one thing you can't just pack up and leave is DNS. I'd rather not have to worry about some algorithm deciding to throw a fit and locking me out without any chance of recourse other than hoping a Googler reads my woes on Twitter or Hacker News. So I guess I wonder about some requirements from ICANN or some guarantees in this regard from Google
- Spunkie 4y agoWait, you are using cloudflare as your .dev registrar or just DNS? My CF dash still shows my .dev domains as unsupported for transfer in.
- doliveira 4y agoSorry, I mean just the DNS itself, the nameservers point to Cloudflare
- Spunkie 4y agoIn that case you should def transfer your domains out of google registrar, I would recommend porkbun. At work we had an entire .dev domain nuked at the registrar level by google because a developer generated some traffic google didn't like on a subdomain. They replaced the ENTIRE domain with a google phishing warning page with no way to bypass to get to the actual site. It took multiple days to resolve the phishing false positive and restore the domain, if it had been our main domain it would have a major emergency at work.
