Following this thread closely. I have 400 domains and most of them are just parked with 5MB landing pages. But I keep thinking I should archive the old content before the next registrar implodes.

Is there any provider here that doesn't charge for LIST requests? I have scripts that check headers on...

I have used Luminati/brightdata for legit scraping. $8 per GB. For that price I can buy three proper VPS and rotate through them.

The "residential" label is just markup. Same IP quality as my aunt's MTN router in Ikeja.

29 days, might as well drop my own count. I sit at six, all with Hostinger after moving off KnownHost last year. Three are parked on expired domains waiting for auction timing, two run lightweight landing pages, and one is just a cheap backup DNS node.

This is the part that actually saved me last year. I had a dropped .cc that controlled a GreenCloudVPS API callback URL. Took me three days to realize why the webhook queue was backing up.

I keep a "domain criticality" column now in th...

This is the part nobody budgets for. I caught a nice one on Vultr last year, or thought I did. Status showed "acquired" for eleven days before they clawed it back citing a registry conflict. Refund took six weeks.

400 domains and I still don't understand half this thread. Following for the electrical lore.

I own 400 domains. I use 3. The rest are backups of backups of ideas I never built. My actual backup strategy is "hope Hetzner does not burn down." I am not the person to ask about premium anything.

You spent $400 on a motherboard and didnt buy a premium domain for your project? I backordered a .io for less last month. Your hardware choices are your business but your domain tells everyone youre cheap. Anyway which seller? Need to know for my server farm domain.

Everything is about positioning. Your CPU generation is invisible. Your domain is your brand.

But fine, ignore the free alpha. Back to your scheduled obsolescence panic.

Backorder a better domain instead of worrying about silicon

I saw someone running their "infra" on a .host domain last week. Premium .io backorder cost me less than a year of that VPS and I flipped it for 4x. Your domain choice signals more about your operation than your CPU generation ever will....
