I moved a test domain to them. I was impressed that they not only moved the domain while keeping the correct nameservers, but they also imported existing DNS glue, too, meaning there wasn't the tiniest bit of downtime.
- Not turning off DNSSEC before migrating
- Moving the domain with no prep work (Google Domains nameservers stop resolving as soon as the migration is complete)
- Starting the migration without updating nameservers (starting a transfer locks them on Google Domains)
These are all of course 100% my fault (and I should have read the "External Domains" docs better), but it was surprisingly tricky to get right.
It's the main reason I never used GoDaddy back in the day, simply didn't want to see or think of that word, just didn't like it lol. Funny that it's the only reason I was never their customer as there was a time their cPanel experience was slightly less bad than the others.
So yeah I'll never use Porkbun and my only shallow reason is their awful brand name.
I suppose Windows is a good name - after all, what does it do? It shows windows decently well, and doesn't do anything else well at all.
What else? ;)
I like edgelord kinda names: Vercel, Heroku, Mistral, Lightning, Nvidia...
I want my sentences to be like "...so I ejected the vector, ran re-drive, then exported the sequence to Bytestream and now the dyno is back online..."
and less like "...so I pulled the blobs out of Peanut Butter & Jelly and migrated them over to Casserole and you know these days I just serve the dish cold to save on compute"
:D It matters!
If that is true, I find it quite interesting that the trees in the Amazon are as much different as possible from the kind of trees used to make paper :)
Namecheap is marginally better, wish cheap wasn't in the title but I haven't had any issues with them over the years.
