Apparently all .tv domains registered through Sarek Oy (sarek.fi; or , which uses them) are currently disabled by the .tv registry (turnon.tv / godaddy). No details are known and domain owners were not notified. This affects a few piracy sites, but also any other unrelated .tv domains, unfortunately including my jomo.tv domain. Piracy related .tv domains using a different registrar are not affected.

TorrentFreak has reported about the situation with my .TV domain, which was and still is suspended for unknown reasons:

Having a domain name and website for your project is great. You don't want to own the entire online identity of your project.

But you should stay away from the .io TLD:

  1. It's a country TLD that's disputed, and while it may not go anywhere…
  2. It's getting more and more expensive, which for projects is a problem.

The best TLD for FOSS projects is probably the .org TLD.
Or, if stuck on .io, at least pre-pay it for years in advance.

My domain provider (123-reg) is screwing up its service so I need a new one 😭 I need:

  • email forwarding (no mailbox required)
  • catch-all email forwarding
  • DNS control (A records)
  • UK or Europe-based

Fasthosts.co.uk look promising, anyone used them?

I've been on for a good while with 40+ domains and I love them. 🐷

🔥.me.ss! You can't register emoji domains in South Sudan

It's useful to share negative results. Not every experiment has an amazing or successful outcome.

tl;dr you can't register Punycode .ss domains.

This also means Internet users in South Sudan can't register domains using their own writing system.

Background

The Republic of South Sudan became independent and joine

I just found out one of my domain registrars, register.to, no longer exists, due to the death of it's owner earlier this year.

It appears their billing system is still trying to charge customers cards though.

#Stress... switched from #googledomains to #namecheap, as to #NOT get caught in the #squarespace price hike... (I'd rather get #caughtinamosh)

All went well... 16 #domains... one fell swoop... even my @protonmail...
Or did it...? Nope... worked for a week, then... nothing.

But I followed all the instructions... all the #badges were green...!?!

Then it happen @protonmail disabled all my email accounts... ugh... now what... they can no longer #verify my #domain.

Is Porkbun still considered a good domain registrar? Are there similar Canadian domain registrars?

I’ve been using @protonmail for nearly 7 years now and using it successfully with my custom too. Such a great evolution of the product and still growing product family. Now it’s time to . Using my referral link gives you a month of Plus to get in touch a personal impression of the look and feel.

Any recommendations on an affordable API or other ways to get informations about ?
For now getting the domain age would be enough.

Sometimes I watch eBay reseller videos on YouTube and think what that life is like and then I come to my senses and realize that domain name investing is so much better and I already know how to do it well!

I suddenly remembered that the domain name registration for Twitter.com was set to expire on January 21, 2024. I had taken a screenshot of this last July.

Curious, I went to see what happened and… the current management is SO CHEAP that they only renewed the name for one extra year… and took care of this 4 DAYS before the expiration 🙄

A screenshot from late January 2024 showing the domain name record for Twitter.com - it was updated just 4 days before the expiration and renewed only for a year

The demise of the queer.af domain (that just happened to follow a conversation I had with my wife on the weekend, who wanted a new domain name for a new business she wants to set up) made me write up some thoughts on Domain Names:

Choose your domain wisely folks!

Just came across this domain parser for PHP that is able to parse domains against either the Public Suffix List or the IANA Top Level Domain List:

https://github.com/jeremykendall/php-domain-parser

Really nice API as well.

Extracted 164,571,837 unique .COM domain names from the ICANN zone file weighing in at 24.85 GB uncompressed (4.36 GB compressed).

I then wrote a quick and dirty Python script to filter the list and remove all domains with numbers, hyphens, and more than 15 characters.

The resulting file has 54,868,231 domain names and is approximately 748 MB in size.

Still unruly, but way more manageable.

🤓 This is gonna be a extremely nerdy toot, but my most favorite piece of code I ever wrote is a small TypeScript library complete with unit tests that makes it super simple to filter a list of domain names by various criteria.
