A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't use Cloudflare because it has so many hooks into so many places that it's a one-stop shop for tracking people's internet use, which I dislike.

Porkbun is close in price, and from what I've read, has very good service without the BS typical of large registrars.

NameSilo costs a little more and offers more email forwarding addresses and API features than porkbun does.

Here's a big list of registrars: https://tld-list.com/tld/com
