namecheap is my preferred vendor and is generally cheap, as the name suggests. Their interface is great and their customer service tends to be pretty good. They're miles ahead of other popular registrars like godaddy and netsol.
I have no idea what io is or why the people at ICANN or wherever are allowing all these new subdomains. Its clearly a cash grab by all involved and the registrars are feeling out the market value of yet another vanity domain. I'm sure it'll settle into a more crowd-friendly price. Not sure what the point is. Just more domains businesses need to worry about. I'm sure Disney doesn't want some random jackass to own Disney.io.

- drzaiusapelord 13y agoAbusing foreign domains for vanity purposes is still the ugly greed I'm complaining about. Especially the geniuses who would buy domains attached to anti-enlightenment, anti-liberal cultures that can pull your product/site for any caveman reason.
- dubfan 13y agoWhile I agree there are some bad examples of TLD abuse, the British Indian Ocean Territory is not so much a country as a military outpost. The native inhabitants were forcibly removed decades ago, and in the very unlikely event they were ever repatriated I think it's unlikely they would stick with the name "British Indian Ocean Territory". The TLD .io would essentially go unused if foreign registration weren't allowed.
