Ask HN: Best place to buy .io domains?

2 points by BaconJuice 13y ago ↗ HN

Hello HN Just wondering where you guys go to buy .io domains? nic.io seem to make you fill a very long form. Are there any alternatives? I usually use namecheap for my domains, however they don't support .io domains.

Thank you.

Didn't google just buy up all the 3/4 letter common-word domains or something?

Google just started considering .io as a gccTLD ( which is basically just a ccTLD which they consider as a gTLD ( which means they don't consider it localized but rather a generic TLD ))

Oh thanks a bunch for the clarification

I just buy straight from nic.io. You only have to fill out the forms once and while I did do it a few years ago I don't remember it being all that bad.

I use iwantmyname.com for my .io domains and they only charge $55!
