The importance of using a reliable registrar can't be overstated. tierra.net looks like a small company, without 24hr support, and with an abandoned social media presence. Why would a company with 40M users use a tiny registrar to save 2 bucks on a domain name?

You would be surprised how prevalent these problems are even with supposedly reputable registrars.

A commonly recommend option here in HN was NameCheap. Earlier this year without any notice they modified our DNS servers completely taking down our SaaS product.

Why? Some migration script run incorrectly.

They offered me a random TLD for free for one year as compensation! I declined.
