Shout out to SmartEthics who made me a vibrant Domain owner

FYI. After a half day re focusing I decided to go with your reccommendation on domain hosting with PB. I do not like the backend, clunky and not easy to navigate but I figured it out. Anyhow, I am now a fan of your channel. So thank you!

Hi Craylor, I watched your video a few days and set up my domain with Porkbun. The service is amazing, thank you so much from a fan across the pond .

Thoughts on buying a domain with cloudflare?

Super helpful video, especially for a newbie! 😃😃😃

[alwaysboogie]

if someone already registered with go daddy, how would they go about cancelling and purchasing the domain on another platform? would they have to wait for the subscription to run out in order for the domain to be available again

i ended up with SS due to the take over, but i have to say their dashboard is garbage, navigating to DNS is loop after loop till i stumble on it, and im still searching for the forwarding setup.

What is the difference between a Domain Name, and a federal trade name! you can use a domain
name as a federal trade name!

Which ones support DNSSEC that you can use with your own server's DNS?

[marcyoliver]

Excellent information and so clearly presented! Thank you so much!

[colorfulu]

what about bluehost? how that one compares with squarespace or Hover?

[brandonfriend]

Can I transfer my domain name at the end of the year I signed up before I saw this video. Please help. LBVS

If Hover doesn’t offer ssl certificates do I need to go elsewhere to get one? Are they necessary?

[MarkWariner]

I posted a comment about my domains and who I’m with etc. etc. and what my thoughts are. Did you see that comment at all because it was there and then it was gone so wasn’t sure what happened to it

Way back I was switched to Dynadot, review was find in your channel and best cheapest very happy ❤

Re NameCheap, I can't say if it's gone downhill a bit in recent years as you say, but Domain renewal price is still mid range and personally, I don't care about their web hosting because I prefer to keep the domain hosting separate anyway.

While I agree that you should avoid godaddy, I do think their customer service is very good (at least in the UK).

Moving from porkbun to spaceship was the best decision I made
