> That's astonishing, the amount of compensation the board thought they could pay themselves. The technical and regulatory complexity of running a domain registrar do not warrant compensation of such absurd figures.

It's ironic that for a company that regards itself as critical infrastructure, their homepage/CMS didn't seem able to handle the traffic from people checking the EGM result. [1] (an hour before being posted to HN)

For a registrar that makes the case it is that important, it does seem like they ought to (for that executive compensation) have a website that can handle that level of traffic...

for something with a many million pound budget, I bet I could quite effectively cache-proxy their CMS with a budget of $20,000 and four high powered 1U servers running a very vanilla nginx https setup. Probably fast enough to serve >50Gbps of outbound traffic of the mostly static content.
