Re: [tlug] Buying domain names

[JP Loh <j.peterloh@example.com>]

If you're willing to wait, Cloudflare is rolling out their registrar service[1]. They do not cover ccTLDs though. For those cases I go with either Namecheap or Hover. GoDaddy is terrible with this, specially with shared hosting.

For hosting, I recommend DigitalOcean or Linode. Of those two, only Linode has a Tokyo facility. For small loads you can also try Amazon AWS Lightsail (with Tokyo DC). For mail, I recommend Fastmail.

Hi all

I'm planning to buy some domain names. (.com, .jp, .net, .org) I was
wondering what service everyone is using to buy their domains and why.
Also if anyone has a recommendation for cheap but decent web and mail
server hosting, that'd be welcome. Of course a server or virtual
instance with root access where I set up my own stuff will work just as
well.

Thanks in advance
