Good list, but the most dumbest way was how perl11.org died. The guy who paid for the domain, didn't pay the domain fee anymore without telling anyone else. So we lost it. And then gave up.
- em-bee 5mo agoFOSS projects should register their domains with providers that allow anyone to pay the fee for a domain, even if they don't own it. then, instead of depending on one person, anyone in the community can pay directly to ensure that the domain is renewed.
- rurban 5mo agoGood idea. Which providers allow this?
- em-bee 5mo agoi am afraid i don't have a good answer for now. it used to be gandi, and they may still support it, but since they sold out they massively raised the prices so they can no longer be recommended.
- rurban 5mo agoYes, I switched from namecheap to gandi some years ago. But it went to shit lately
