@manton Oh, now this is interesting. How much do you charge for a .ca domain name?

@alexink Looks like .ca is $20/year. We are not going to be the cheapest registrar... We add some to the base cost to help cover managing everything.

@aloysiusbest I hadn't even heard of .best! But yes, looks like it does work, and it is a little more expensive than most common domains.

@manton Yes! This is such a good addition 🙌

I like how well this aligns with "Own your domain".

@manton Quote price? I'm getting into the whole idea of micro.blog and would transfer the domain here because I've been trying for awhile to simplify my online presence. I'm probably going to delete my firefish instance soon and base everything out of micro.blog

@manton i checked you registrar and it is significantly cheaper so I'll be transferring it over when it gets closer to renewal. 👍

@aloysiusbest Thanks! .best is currently $37/year for new registrations, but for some reason it's $106/year for transfers. Ouch. To be honest I'm not sure why, must be something with our registrar partner Name.com.

@manton No, that's fair. The last place charged me $18.99 Cnd. And I'm looking to give my micro.blog a proper name.

@alexink That’s how several of mine sites are now, only with a “logo” instead of a panic button.
