I like NFS, but apparently they have some caveats, such as you cannot set up a domain to use its' own nameservers (buy foo.com, setup nameservers as ns1.foo.com ns2.foo.com with dedicated IPs) without them charging you $50 (?) /hour in tech support... PER nameserver.
Sorry NFS, I'm moving away.
- Legion 15y agoI'm sure NFS isn't the only registrar that fits my description. They're just the one I know about. I would love to hear about others that hold the same standard.
- ComputerGuru 15y agoThanks for pointing that out. I had no idea that this wasn't a "standard" registrar feature. I'm with 1&1 and have been dying to switch forever, but this will make me look twice at any alternatives.
- soult 15y agoThat's because they are a webhosting company, not a domain registrar. They offer domains at a cost-covering price as a service for their webhosting customers. Technically ns.phx1.nearlyfreespeech.net works just as well as ns1.yourdomain.example, but the latter one requires manual work (adding glue records) because their control panel does not support it.
