          Others let you set custom NSs, so you can fuck off from their bullshit. You are stuck with cloudflares lineup here.

            And you should always separate NS from registrar so if one goes rogue or tits up, you can recover your domain.

              If your registrar goes rogue there’s not much you can do. Custom NSs may buy you 12h.
              This separation gets you that it either breaks 100% or 0%. You’re safe from ongoing enshittification until they kill custom NS.

                You can usually do a domain transfer from a non-responding registrar if you can prove you have DNS control. It’s a manual process, but I’ve had to do it. It’s proved it’s worth to me to have them separated. Now, you might be down for a while, but you don’t have to go through a lengthy documentation process if you have DNS control.

                  That’s interesting, what tld was that on? That has to be done by the domain authority right?

                    That was a .com moving over to I think EasyDNS. They could expedite the domain transfer around the lock if I could prove I had DNS access. Might have done that moving to NameCheap too on another one.

                    This was a few years ago too, everything has gotten stupid in the last few years. Maybe they won’t do that without a dispensation from the Pope and a notarized clean bill of health from the STD clinic.

      I like and use Cloudflare but it’s worth mentioning you must use their dns for domains you purchase from them.
