The "serverHold" status is not set by GoDaddy, but by the actual .ME registry https://domain.me/ GoDaddy could apply "clientHold" but not "serverHold"

Weird. The .me registry specifically says there are no restrictions and even advertises Telegram.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've never had a problem with Namecheap but I'm not sure they are really any better as I've never had a problem with GoDaddy either.

Namecheap got bought by private equity fairly recently, so i switched away from them. Wouldn’t recommend starting with them just in time for the enshittification to start.

Their prices had already been going up for a few years before that, which finally pushed me off them starting around August of last year. I'm about to swap my final few domains over this month before they renew.

Porkbun has been great so far. Easy to use, refreshingly minimal, and good prices.

You can read an explanation of the status codes on the icann website.

The explanation for clientRenewProhibited was interesting:

"This status code tells your domain's registry to reject requests to renew your domain. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes or when your domain is subject to deletion."

Similar language for some of the other statuses like serverDeleteProhibited.

Which do you recommend?

I've never had a problem with Namecheap but I'm not sure they are really any better as I've never had a problem with GoDaddy either.

My bank automatically blocks payments to Namecheap. When I had domains with them, I had to call and give prior approval for the exact amount I would be paying. My bank claimed it was because of a high number of fraudulent charges.

Of course we launched our Telegram channel just this weekend, so I am feeling pretty happy that I enforced a 15-year old SOP that says "never email links to 3rd-party domains ; always use a redirect"... Swapping the redirect now for telegram.me, which hopefully won't go down simultaneously

I would do something that isn't *.me, since it was them that suspended it.
