Cloudflare Domain registration
-
I received the email today that I can now migrate my domains to Cloudflare.
I only signed up my personal account. I figure once I try it out, I would look at work stuff.

Big button on the right. Hard to miss.
-
It pushes it based on the domains you have setup already.
-
For those that have free accounts, you will need to setup payment.
Credit Card or Paypal work. You can also have the invoice show a different name than the payment method.
-
Selecting just two of my domains for now. But $7.85 / year + ICANN fee is better than GoDaddy or Google.
-
Instructions on the process. Including unlocking your domains and requesting the auth code.
-
Those are great prices. It has not opened up for me, yet.
-
I don't know if it will pull in your existing WHOIS contact information if yours is public, because all of mine are private.
-
-
One failed strangely.
-
-
And done.

Glad they are offering the service now, but is there any concern about consolidating services under the umbrella of a single service provider? Such as DNS & Registrar together versus each at separate companies?

For a business, the domain registration account should be different than the DNS account. Because the domain registration should not be an IT duty.
As for using the same provider, if the provider is of quality and stbale, that is really not an issue. Also, Domain Registration is not a thing that matters in the day to day running of a business. It is an account touched yearly when ICANN identity notices are verified.

And the one domain failed because I failed at copy/paste.
Of course that message was so slow to show up, I had already rerequested the transfer

That said, there is a point of silliness to separation of services in the SMB.
Additionally, as long as a domain is properly registered to the Business name and not a person, the business has the ability to retain things in the event of a rogue employee.
Granted most SMB wouldn't know if it was properly registered or not...

All better.

No .me support yet, according to this page.

But, I'm sure they are working on it.

Management of domain registration from the main page is limited. I am sure that there are more setting someplace, but I haven't looked.
