Why can’t we have it all in one place? Every time I buy a domain through namecheap, I feel cheap. I don’t feel cheap when I use Digital Ocean.

Hey @nexlevel,

Hey @nexlevel,

In order for DigitalOcean to sell domains it needs to become a registrar, while this isn’t something that has happened it’s not a guarantee it won’t.

The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.

Ahhhh… So I need to vote for Digital Ocean to conclude adding domain registrar services is a good idea on a posted started 5 years ago currently marked Under Review. It can’t just conclude that from Cloudflare already doing it or Square Space having just acquired Google Domains.

Got it.
