Why do you need to move from Porkbun though? I don't get it.
 help



Porkbun is based in Portland, Oregon, USA. I'm trying to move my infra to EU only stuff.

It was fine when I lived near Bellevue, Washington. And I did live 30 years in the US but I want to divest myself from that shitshow.


Right, I guess it only makes a difference if you use their DNS? Otherwise, registrar being in US vs EU makes zero difference in terms of speed/latency etc. Is this just an ethical or political thing that you want to be out of USA?

Mostly political, the other stuff makes more sense, domains are mostly a nice to have.

And for .com, .org, and .net those are owned by ICANN which is US controlled anyway.


gp, like OP, are moving away from USA based infrastructure.

you ca see this on the footer of porkbun.com:

> Made in the USA
