And what happens if your email provider does the same? What happens if they close your account because you were unable to login and they give your handle to somebody else? What happens when they suspend your account because you logged into something they don't approve of?
TFA is a weak, self-defeating argument against best practice. Own your domain, register it for a long time.
- LightHugger 3y agoIt kind of sucks but domain registrars steal paid for domains from people all the time for nonsense reasons too.
- oliwarner 3y agoI think all the time is stretching. Reputable registrars selling domains from reputable registries do not generally do this. In in doubt, stick to dot-com Again, anything that could happen to you and your domain could happen to an email provider and their domains, on top of them choosing to lock you out, give away your address, downtime, etc etc etc.
