Romain Canon🚚 The `.io` domain names have become really expensive over the past couple of years, so I’ve decided to move the #PHP Valinor documentation from https://valinor.cuyz.io to https://valinor-php.dev
Alex Rock@pierstoval Feel free to financially sponsor my OSS work so I can choose a better domain name 🤗
Sarcasm aside, I knew that when I bought it — but that doesn’t mean I endorse everything Google does 🤷♂️. What would be some good, not-too-exotic alternatives?
@pierstoval `.tech` is sold the same price as `.io` domain names, which was the initial issue. Also, `.tech` is owned by an Indian billionaire so… 🤷♂️
@Romm Almost every TLD is owned by either big corporations, or some billionnaire somewhere.
The real solution would be to use domains owned by nonprofit orgs based in countries where their rights and data are safe, and so far there's no such thing.
ICANN controls pretty much everything that's not big corp, conjointedly with IANA for the DNS and GTLD parts, all these are US-based, so... yeah, Radix is based in India, but I don't know any bad thing about them (so far, no idea about the future)
