Aww, my oldest domain name hicom.org was 33 years old yesterday.
It was the only VAX System that Kevin Mitnick ever had a legitimate account on, he lasted less than a week.

And by "finish", the spouse means "start". 🤦

".io questions in sharp focus as UK signs Chagos treaty"
Maybe Identity Digital could apply to get it turned into a gTLD if it were to no longer exist as a ccTLD

I should probably look for a new domain registrar at some point.
In the Old Days™, I had my .co.uk domains on 123-Reg, back when a domain was £2.50 plus the 39p fee. But they were expensive for .com, so those went on Namecheap.
Then 123-Reg got expensive and crap, so I moved the .uk domains to Namecheap.
Now it'd be good to use a UK company. But all the review sites are listing the big companies that I wouldn't trust because they're big and clunky and unresponsive (Go Daddy, Ionos, Google Domains, and even HostGator 😆) or "buy your cheap domain at a super-cheap web host" companies… that I wouldn't trust!
I know @beasts do domain registration. But I'm already using one of their awesome Raspberry Pi servers and I've kept my domains separate from my hosting for 20+ years for "emergency purposes" (i.e. "shit hits the fan and I need to move something in a hurry while locked out from the web host").
Does anyone here know anyone who works for Joker.com - It seems the place that somebody may.
About a decade ago, I lost access to the email my account login is under. The domain was essentially stolen (via Joker and for the same reason this is happening now) so obviously I have no reason to trust the present owner.
Sadly though, that means that all of my domains on #Joker are potentially "owned" by anyone who has access to that email address - They get all my expiry notices, all my billing information, everything. And Joker won't change it, because they need me to confirm any changes from the old email address - Which again, I haven't had access to for a decade.
I have gone through hoops over the years, where they say "We can't change it, you just need to confirm it" - It's like talking to a lobotomised traffic warden; the concept doesn't seem unusual, or hard to understand, I can prove who I am with a European passport or you know, because I am pretty well known on the Internet and I can login to the account and have the password and 2FAs and phone numbers connected with it.
It's beyond frustrating! And I know German bureaucracy is supposedly bad; but this is just insanity.
If I can't do it through Joker, is there a body above them that takes consumer complaints? I have a wonderful collection of 30 years of support emails for them :P

I'm looking to migrate our website domains to services not owned by google/squarespace, and our web host to something cheaper than bluehost.
It's just a simple wordpress website for a card game, Penguinslap.com. We don't really get any traffic at all. Very occasionally we make a sale, and those links redirect to a PayPal site.
Any suggestions?

I have two domain names that I don't want/need anymore. If you'd like them, let me know. I'll try to figure out how to get them to you without any extra cost (you'll just start paying a registrar for them or whatever).

I suppose if I just fail to renew them and they go out into the world you can also probably get them that way. I don't really know all the ins and outs of domain pricing, so if there's something I can do to prevent extra prices for anyone who might want one of these, I'll do what I can.

People who are more technologically savvy than I am (that should be about 90% of the Fediverse, right?) when you transfer a domain to a new registrar, do the DNS settings get transferred to, or do you need to take good note of them and not do anything stupid?
