Pro tip: If you use Porkbun, don’t leave your domain’s authoritative DNS with Porkbun nameservers.

Over the year or so I had my stuff configured this way, on at least one occasion (that I know about.. I was still setting up my observability stack during this year), the servers were flapping hard for over a day, causing my records to magically vanish from existence intermittently.

I tried contacting them every way I could, hell I even descended into the quagmire of Twitter and created an account so I could tweet at them.. and got silence.

Pretty disappointing. I ended up moving all my DNS to AWS Route 53 after a few hours of pulling out my hair. They did eventually respond to my email like a day later, after I’d already moved everything over.

But idk maybe I’m wrong expecting an indie domain registrar to have super high availability on their nameservers.. oh well
