Now I'm curious how the data looks for us nerds over here on the fediverse: where do you register your domains?

If at multiple places, let's interpret this as if you were registering a domain today, where would you register it?

tackily if you don't mind boosting I'd actually like a lot of data on this I'm really curious!

@gintoxicating @matildalove Hostinger. I left Dynadot years ago when they stopped offering low-end hosting services. I was on GoDaddy before that, but left way back when they were ultra-sexist.

@corbden @gintoxicating @matildalove when was this? I remember a lot of bad things about them but wasn't aware of the sexism... wouldn't surprise me though.

@jwdt @gintoxicating @matildalove Maybe 10-15 years ago. I'd have to spend a few hours trying to remember the details. Back then it seemed obvious to everyone? They of course had the GoDaddy Babes in all their advertising, and they were unrepentant upon criticism. But then there was a bigger scandal of some sort at corporate. Twitter had a fit and there was a mass exodus. They soon cleaned up their act, fired some people, hired a woman CEO and got better, but I'd already moved. Looks like worked!! Both in cleaning up their image so much that people forgot, and in fixing the problem.

@corbden @jwdt @gintoxicating @matildalove They're based in the Phoenix metro and it's pretty much an open secret in among tech workers there the reputational cleanup at GoDaddy is a surface level.

They recruited me hard several times, but I had no interest whatsoever.
