That’s a very SV view on things; i.e. that small companies inevitably get acquired. Most small companies don’t actually get acquired, and are not looking to be acquired. The simple answer is: Choose a registrar without significant externa

Like I frequently¹ advise²: Don’t look to large, well-known registrars. I would suggest that you look for local registrars in your area . The TLD registry for your country/area usually has a list of the authorized registrars, so you c

Note: There is apparently a large group of people who hate everything he does and also, seemingly, him personally. Everywhere he (or any of his books) is mentioned, the haters come out, with their vague “it’s all bad” and the old standard “
