Technically true, but you have to create an account with a company that is targeted at very technical customers. And using them requires understanding DNS, which is an insane prerequisite. We need a consumer domain registrar.
- WanderPanda 4y agoI just saw that icloud.com has a domain registrar built in (for receiving emails) I would say that is as "consumer" as it gets, no?
- anderspitman 4y agoThat's good, but should every service have to implement their own registrar? We don't all have the resources of Apple. Plus, what if you want to host other services on subdomains? Even if you can manually set DNS records, you shouldn't have to. I should be able to use the registrar of my choice, and icloud should use an OAuth flow for me to approve them having control over a subdomain, and they make changes via a standardized protocol. There's some previous work in this space and I've also dabbled myself[0]. [0]: https://takingnames.io/blog/introducing-takingnames-io https://takingnames.io/blog/introducing-takingnames-io
