I don't have a crystal ball, but NearlyFreeSpeech was recommended to me in 2010 and I've been using it since 2012. I don't think it's changed at all in that time.

- acidburnNSA 2mo agoTheir FAQ says they use Public Domain Registry to actually buy the domains. They are a wholly owned subsidiary of The Endurance International Group, who is owned by Clearlake Capital, a PE firm! So while it may shield you a bit, if you're moving from namecheap just to avoid PE then that may not be the most obvious choice. https://faq.nearlyfreespeech.net/q/difftos https://faq.nearlyfreespeech.net/q/difftos https://publicdomainregistry.com/about-us/ https://publicdomainregistry.com/about-us/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearlake_Capital https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearlake_Capital
- js2 2mo agoThanks for digging into this. Somehow I'd never checked. I moved my domains to porkbun since I wasn't otherwise using NFS for anything else.
- happytoexplain 2mo agoI use NFS for hosting, and I agree they are still good. But it's just a matter of time. Always be ready to move.
