Agreed, definitely use 2fa if it’s offered. What many people don’t realize is that there are a lot of registrars still using less secure platforms. So moving to a more secure registrar can help as well.

I mention registering for 5 years in the future because if something like this happens, there will be no question as to whether or not you lost the domain because it expired.

Any recommendations on a good registrar?

joker.com, inwx.com ,namesilo.com, register4less.com, epag.de, iwantmyname.com, hover.com, Porkbun.com, www.nearlyfreespeech.net

.name domain isn't available in some of these, decide to use inwx.com

namecheap.com is great (always good prices). Obviously, never go with Godaddy.com (rip offs)
