mkb: up_the_irons, arp doesn't do domain registration by chance does it
would be nice to have a domain registrar that's actually competent
RandalSchwartz: I like hover.com
since that's really TUCOWS
and their prices are rock bottom, and the UI is reasonably good.

johnny-o: for another data point, i've used gandi.net since 2000 and they've been great
mkb: that's who I was complaining about actually
well
I don't like their new website
johnny-o: oh, yeah, i was just logging in and it's...interesting
mkb: but I also had a bad unrelated experience with yahoo today which is what I was complaining about when I said "actually competent"
my father bought a small business webhosting/email thing from yahoo and of course calls me and not them when he has trouble
johnny-o: you can still get to the old stuff via https://v4.gandi.net/
RandalSchwartz: well - still marking hover.com as useable here
mkb: gandi doesn't park domains on delete I've learned and I'd hate to move everything to someone who does
johnny-o: that is true in my experience, and there have been plenty of times in the last 17 years i've forgotten to renew on time
mkb: I just about had to today because I couldn't find the next button to try and pay them
it's up at the top instead of at the bottom where it ought to be
johnny-o: they just hijack your NS records and everything returns NXDOMAIN
mkb: ah you haven't gotten as far as I've gotten once
I did eventually get to unregistered available for reregistration
icann ought to police the registrars but... doesn't
