Wave 8. Estimate time: Never.
New CF account/ no domains added?
Funny how they claim no markup but Porkbun is cheaper than them for .net (and several other registrars are cheaper than them for .info and .org).
So, it means someone will build plugin for reselling their domain ? Great news for me.
Well I'm guessing volume is a factor aswell.
About a year old account with domains. Just my luck.
I signed up out of curiosity and got wave 5...
I still am not sure about this. I used to love Dynadot, but then they eventually gave me a reason to search and find Porkbun, which are far better.
Back on topic, if i am to have a domain paid for and registered through Cloudflare, are they going to take my domain away just for not agreeing with my views of the world? And let's face it, my views are considered disagreeable in the new world order. Not that i express them publicly that much though, but hypothetically, let's assume i do, or i am considering to.
I'd say it's more of a 50/50 toss up than looking at how GoDaddy, Google, NameCheap and others handled the situation you're referring to. Whole thing kicked off with them seizing domains.
Soon they will start to sell shared hosting , and then VPS, and dedicated server , and become full-product-line from hosting to CDN
They already offer and sell dns management and web proxy (mitm), they'll slap those two services as a readily available option for domains registered through them due to slightly lower domain prices and gain even more users who are capable of paying them. Integrated services.
One account wave 1, another one wave 4, yet another one wave 6. I don't personally use CF.
Checked one of those confirmation mail
I've mixed feelings about this, probably I'm not American enough to understand the ongoing debate on the subject
They don't need to 'claim' anything, the registry prices are public knowledge.
It's a pretty common tactic for registrars to give you a cheap 1st year/transfer and recoup after.
Hmmmm I just remembered something ...... Meh
I got Wave 2.
Does anyone donated for those "coding grils"?
I did. $1.
I got 16 domains in mine but the account is 7-8 years old. It`s either account age or just random.
They said in their blog post it's related to the account's age.
If you go to https://dash.cloudflare.com/domains whilst logged in and then click on the link "donate with Classy", you'll jump 1 Wave even without donating a penny (which I'm not recommending).
Hurry up and donate so the girls can finish the Cloudflare domain API sooner.
So instead of the registrar markup you now pay "voluntary" donations to even sign up. Kinda nauseating tbh.
Rather than paying cisgendered white western males whom already made it into the tech industry thanks to meritocracy, you're now forced to figuratively pay donations in order to promote and free oppressed girls in western countries, correct. It seems that there are no other good causes, recently.
I've already seen some US-based notorious free and open source project slowly pulling out from the context of "meritocracy" – since, it seems, it's the new n-word in the era of contemporary feminism.
I've mixed feelings about this as I've said, I don't want to disrespect anyone but while I'm (still) free to ignore some fundamentalism coming from MENA, I'm not sure I'll be able to ignore
fundamaffirmative actions coming from the land of the free for too longThanks...in Wave 1 now
I guess that's progress*. Now even domain registrars have an AUP. Maybe not yet in writing, but...
(By progress, I mean "as the world moves on, not always in the right direction")
The botnet is still growing...
They should've just rolled it out as a beta to a randomly chosen 5-10% of their active users.
None of this wave business.
Recently I reluctantly started using them as DNS-only. It will be a while before I put both registrar and dns in the same basket like I did in 2000s
Their dns is great though, I am also using as dns only for a few years and haven't had any problems.
CloudFlare isn't the first no-markup registrar :-) freenom has done it for a looong time.
So much hate for cloudflare, I'll just put it here https://blog.cloudflare.com/f-root/
Yes, while I really like Cloudflare DNS I don't want my DNS and Domain Registration handled by the same company.
Not sure why. The registrar is ultimately responsible for putting your chosen nameservers in the registry zone file, so any choice of 3rd parties is sort of moot, unless there's some kind of pretense on the quality of registrar DNS services.
Using a hosting company to register domains OTOH... seems like that was a common pitfall when it came to choosing a new hosting provider.
