[Hidden-tech] Domain Registrars

[Jeff Mackler]

I’ve tried at least 10 different registrars over the years, and Uniregistry
is by far my favorite (GoDaddy is probably my least favorite). Their
interface and bulk handling is great. The prices are fair and support has
been good. https://uniregistry.com/
