You mentioned this elsewhere, but for those who don't know xyz 1.111B class are incredibly cheap numerical xyz domains.
Google domains served me well before Google decided to kill it.... oh well....

Me, just now, learning about that for the first time:
Very cheap domains that actually renew at that price? That's interesting, though I guess you could almost just as well memorize your IPv4 address for free instead. Except you get to pick this number and use subdomains. Now l just have to think of a memorable 6 to 9 digit number...
I guess still having my ICQ number memorized might finally be useful for something! Who'd have thought?
Tips for good numbers: dates work pretty well. Another thing you can do is use a simple cipher The simplest one is the one on old touch-tone phones. Then just memorize a word and convert it e.g. F-L-A-S-H-Y = 352749.
Or just use a password manager like bitwarden and keep it in there.
That's awesome! I just snatched my phone numbers (phone numbers are 8 digits in my country) as domains.
Porkbun is very straightforward with renewal prices, great registrar all around.

Personally I've had good experience with Namecheap, I would've said Google Domains but...yeah....
Too soon sir, too soon.
porkbun.com tells you the renewal cost. the cheapest is a series of at least 6 numbers with the .xyz domain.
That is nuts! Nice tip!
