#domainregistration — Public Fediverse posts

Any experts in domain names here?

I’m stuck in limbo. My domain left name.com but is not showing up on the new registrar

The weirdest thing? The Whois is showing PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com
But that’s not where I transferred it (I sent it to whc.ca)

Did name.com fuck up and sent it to the wrong place? How do I get it back?

It's funny how letting go of the past is really hard sometimes, even with simple, silly things. After 16 years, I'm finally letting go of a domain I centered my identity around.

After today, I'll be down to 3 personal domains and 1 shared, from a peak of 16.

Feels good, if not a little sad.

Why Use a Country-Level Domain Extension?

Using overseas hosting (outside the United States) is a smart move and something we encourage — it can provide greater privacy, legal protection, and sovereignty over your data.

However, hosting alone is not enough.

Even if you host your website (for example, on a .com) in a country like Germany, while your files and database may be safe, your domain name itself can still be subject to U.S. law. Many domain extensions — including .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, and .edu — are governed by U.S. jurisdiction.

Additionally, many word-based domain extensions — such as .social — are managed by private corporations based in the United States, which can still put your domain name at risk of legal or commercial interference. Corporations can also be easily bought or influenced, unlike sovereign nations. Historically, sovereign nations tend to seek to hold onto their sovereignty — even when they are financially broke or fundamentally broken.

Domain takedowns are rare, but the possibility exists — especially in today's unstable political climate. For example, even close allies like Canada have experienced tension with the U.S., and Donald Trump even tried to instruct Microsoft to discontinue services to Denmark, raising the question: What is "normal" anymore?

There is currently a wave of phishing emails going to 20i customers claiming that a domain renewal payment failed

The emails look legitimate but comes from an unconnected domain & has masked links

20i are aware of it and confirm that it started today & their abuse team are working on resolving the issue

If you or anyone you know uses 20i, be aware of this and be very careful

The renewal date listed was also wrong

### How Long Does it Take to Announce a Domain Name?

The time required for a newly registered domain name to become fully operational on the internet can vary due to several factors. Below, we'll break down some key aspects that influence the domain announcement process:

#### 1. DNS Propagation
**DNS (Domain Name System)** propagation refers to the process of updating the DNS records globally after you make changes to your domain’s settings, such as pointing it to a new server. This update is required for your domain to resolve to the correct IP address.

This process can take **anywhere from a few hours to 48 hours** to complete. Typically, **24 hours** is the standard period for DNS propagation. However, certain conditions, like your internet service provider (ISP) caching old DNS information, can cause delays.

#### 2. Domain Registration Process
If you’ve just registered a new domain, the actual registration typically happens **within minutes to a few hours**. Some domain registrars complete this nearly instantly, especially when using automated systems. However, manual checks, domain availability, and specific verification requirements can sometimes cause a slight delay.

Even if your domain is registered quickly, it still requires some time for global DNS servers to recognize the new information. That’s where DNS propagation comes into play.

#### 3. Blogger and Other Blogging Platforms
If you're using platforms like **Blogger**, the process of linking a custom domain can take anywhere from **a few minutes to a few hours**. These systems automatically connect your domain once the DNS records are correctly configured, and the changes propagate.

Usually, after correctly configuring DNS settings for a domain linked to Blogger, most users see their websites live within an hour or two. In rare cases, it could take a little longer—up to 24 hours—depending on the platform's server load and DNS settings.

### How to Avoid DNS Propagation Delays
To ensure that your domain becomes live quickly and without issues, here are some best practices:
- **Check DNS Records**: Double-check the DNS records (like **A records**, **CNAME**, etc.) to ensure everything is configured properly. Many domain registrars and hosting providers offer DNS management tools to assist you.
- **Clear DNS Cache**: If you’re having trouble seeing your site after making changes, your browser or computer may still be using old DNS data. Try clearing your DNS cache or use an **Incognito** or **Private** browser window to bypass local cache.
- **Check with Your ISP**: Some ISPs cache DNS information for longer periods, so even if global DNS has updated, your ISP may still be using outdated data.

### What to Do If Your Domain Isn't Working After 48 Hours
If you find that your domain is still not working after waiting the full 48-hour DNS propagation window, here are a few steps you can take:
1. **Verify DNS Settings**: Use DNS testing tools like **WhatsMyDNS.net** to check if the correct DNS records have propagated globally.
2. **Contact Your Registrar or Hosting Provider**: Reach out to your domain registrar or hosting provider to ensure there are no issues with the domain settings or registration.
3. **Troubleshoot**: Check that there are no typos or misconfigurations in your DNS records (e.g., incorrect IP addresses).

### Conclusion
The process of announcing and setting up a domain name typically happens quickly, but it’s important to allow up to **48 hours** for full DNS propagation. The actual time may vary depending on your DNS settings, internet service provider, and the platforms you’re integrating with, such as **Blogger**.

By following best practices, like double-checking your DNS records and clearing cache, you can minimize delays and ensure a smooth setup process.

I have to find a new domain registrar, and probably a new CDN or web host, as well, and I'm looking for ones that are based in countries which have good privacy laws and/or are outside the US, which I just don't trust from a legal standpoint anymore.

Any ideas?
