What to do if your domain is taken away legally (e.g. via trademark dispute) or due to a random combination of unlucky factors is bought before you can extend it?
Besides what email do you specify when buying domains? Where do you host that email? How do you deal if that email locks you out?
I hope don't say "use me@example.com to register example.com" because that circle seems like a fun thing to solve in a pinch.
- layer8 1y agoDomain registrars usually allow a fallback email address, or, at least for the ones I use in my country, allow communication by phone or postal mail to restore access. As a general rule, using smaller independent providers gives you more resilience and recourse than relying on big tech.
