Incidentally, Zoom seems a terrible name for a video conferencing app - anyone know why they chose it?
One guess - fast video.
During the pandemic many people used zoom more than their cell phones.
A few years ago I had a .us TLD. I eventually decided that I probably shouldn't be reliant on a country code for my domain, it's the same reason why I don't use .io I'm not saying that this couldn't have happened with a gTLD But why put your brand at the mercy of a government like that?
> it's the same reason why I don't use .io Dodged a bullet there given that .io is at risk of being discontinued altogether. It hasn't been decided yet, but better to not have that dangling over your head.

What TLD is not subject to a country's laws? .aq? .su? Edit: .eu might be an even better candidate for this requirement, but you can ask British former domain owners how that worked out gTLDs just subject you to an additional layer of incompetence, namely from the company running it. The government where they're located can still come knocking. It's also not like e.g. .nl is run by the Dutch government officials, it'…
I don't know if that's actually the case, I've heard some shady sites are using .su(Soviet Union) to avoid judicial actions.
4 hour catastrophic outage because of a shitty domain registrar makes me wonder if zoom will be switching critical services to a different tld sooner or later as a result of this
See for example that AWS Route53 uses com, org, net and uk domains for the nameservers.
That seriously devalues MarkMonitor's services. MarkMonitor claims to be a "an ICANN-accredited registrar and recognized industry leader since 1999". The whole point of paying for MarkMonitor is that they're an expensive service for valuable domains and are not allowed to screw up. GoDaddy should not be involved here at all.
Godaddy is such an incompetent organisation. Should not be allowed to administer anything of importance.

> The whole point of paying for MarkMonitor is that they're an expensive service for valuable domains A while ago and, out of curiosity, I did a Whois Lookup to see what big tech companies are using as their domain registrar and found that Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Tesla, Netflix and Shopify are all using MarkMonitor. On the other hand Apple uses "Nom-iq Ltd. dba COM LAUDE", Meta (and its children) uses RegistrarSaf…
Someone had fun with that one.

Also .us domains don't have who is privacy.
Please don't keep us in suspense ... who is privacy?

These big companies spend tens of millions on homegrown tooling, even their own languages and databases, but they can't assign one dev to write a domain-monitoring tool?
