as a some tld registry and as a few tld's registrar myself, personally i would rather trust me :) In the case of general home servers, some TLD's have a central registry, others have multiple registries, there are usually multiple registrars and any salient advice actually depends on what TLD we are talking about :) In the case of .ca for example, some registrars are "shell registrars" and they only operate an EPP system connected to a payment gateway :) 'hosting' is sub contracted even on the back of other registrars (who also offer their own hosting) and even then it could be a re-seller registrar that resells what the registrar already resells from say someone like Tucows... so, basically, ymmv but it all depends how long the piece of string is :) > Bots will try to hack into your web site, and if you have business > stuff there that is a bonus for them.
