    If your registrar goes rogue there’s not much you can do. Custom NSs may buy you 12h.
    This separation gets you that it either breaks 100% or 0%. You’re safe from ongoing enshittification until they kill custom NS.

      You can usually do a domain transfer from a non-responding registrar if you can prove you have DNS control. It’s a manual process, but I’ve had to do it. It’s proved it’s worth to me to have them separated. Now, you might be down for a while, but you don’t have to go through a lengthy documentation process if you have DNS control.

        That’s interesting, what tld was that on? That has to be done by the domain authority right?

          That was a .com moving over to I think EasyDNS. They could expedite the domain transfer around the lock if I could prove I had DNS access. Might have done that moving to NameCheap too on another one.

          This was a few years ago too, everything has gotten stupid in the last few years. Maybe they won’t do that without a dispensation from the Pope and a notarized clean bill of health from the STD clinic.
