Comment on The prices differences of different providers for the same domain is crazy.
samc@feddit.uk 1 month ago Nominet manages the .UK domain, and they’re a bit funny about proof of residence. Not sure I had to give Porkbun any photo ID, but the did temporarily suspend my domain. Took forever to clear up.
IMO the moral if the story is avoid ccTLDs (though now I have it I’m sticking with it for as long as I can).

I have a .uk via Cloudflare and never needed to give proof, but I did buy it several years ago
I had no issues when my domain was registered with GoDaddy. It was shortly after switching to porkbun that the issues started. Porkbun blamed nominet and nominet blamed porkbun. Not sure what actually happened, but it does seem related to nominet’s policy about who can hold a .uk domain

I guess porkbun, being the least renowned name, is the weak link. Companies blaming each other is all too familiar…
