I was really hoping to find out they were hosting their DNS on GoDaddy. I still want it to be true.

If only it were so, then they would have kind of deserved it. TIL GoDaddy wormed it’s way into administering the .us TLD on behalf of the federal government.

That makes two reasons to avoid .us domains, the other being that you're not allowed to redact the WHOIS information on those.

This shafted me hard when I registered the domain I used to research and write a company blog post (https://www.guidepointsecurity.com/blog/tunnel-vision-cloudf...).

I’ll never deal with a .us domain again, even if it means missing out on a good text string.

wormed it is

GoDaddy is the registrar. They (Zoom) host their DNS using Amazon.
