OK, who can recommend a domain name registrar that:

- Is boring and dependable and has a rock solid track record
- Has a really good UI, including on mobile
- Supports as many TLDs as possible
- Isn't likely to get acquired by someone else
- Ideally supports multiple payment methods as insurance against accidental card expiry

I'd settled on Google Domains... but they just sold themselves to Squarespace! https://9to5google.com/2023/06/15/google-domains-squarespace/

Google Domains shutting down, assets sold and being migrated to Squarespace

Google Domains is "winding down following a transition period," with Squarespace taking over the business and assets...

@simon I'm using namecheap and have no real complaints but I would like to be able to push a zone file and use gitops with my domains. I have some hacky code I wrote against the namecheap API, but I'm curious to see what sourcehut eventually has planned with a names.sr.ht registry 🤔
