    Google has trained me to think “I wonder if that still exists” every time I remember one of their products.

    The Google graveyard is vast.

      Dead google products are just failed advertising attempts.

        And they carry a cost to the progression of technology, and the advancement of our society.

  while I appreciate everyone naming their favorite companies, this is the only real answer to the question. It doesn’t matter at all which registrar you use, it’s about brand recognition, support, add-on services, and cost.

  [source: friend founded his own (now defunct) registrar and I would help out. Even when a registrar goes out of business there’s no real risk, as there are plans in place to hand off customers to other sites]
