Hey umm... what's a good domain registrar?

We were looking into Namecheap but they have some /really wacky shit/ in their TOS. Things like "you're not allowed to run MUCKs" it looks like????

so, yeah, need someone else

[We don't have any domains yet, so porting isn't an issue; this is our first time.]

[I can't tell whether that means "you can't run MUCKs on domains you get through us" or just "you can't run MUCKs /on our site/" but how would the latter even /work/ and /why the fuck are they banning MUDs in the first place/]

Oh yeah another gem is "if your account gets hacked or something, we can charge you $50 an hour while trying to resolve it, regardless of whether anything actually gets fixed".

We stopped reading after the MUD thing.
