I knew that .design and Porkbun had a relationship, but did not realize Porkbun were subsidiary - would have assumed it other way around.
Porkbun is a well liked registrar with smooth operation and great prices. I hope there are no changes coming. Tagging a rep at Porkbun for confirmation of situation. @SlackJawedYokel

Sooo: What will this mean for Porkbun, ‘a Top Level Design company’*?
*’Top Level Design LLC ... the proud registry for the .design ... TLD. We also provide registrar services through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Porkbun LLC.’
And what registrar. The best registrar! You rock!Thanks for the tag, Bob. Sorry for the delay, I've been away on "vacation". It's true, Porkbun is owned by Top Level Design but we've always operated independently so there will be no changes whatsoever. The only thing being sold is the .design TLD, no other part of the business. As for which is a subsidiary of what, the registry business actually came first, then when I came on board we were like "Hey, let's build a registrar!", and so we did
sorry for all the people who own .club
luckily nobody owns any .design domains
GD is loot company, their USP is to loot customers money by using silly bad tactics and malpractices. If ( .com) takeover by GD then I will stop investing in domainI bet Godaddy will take over .com from Verisign
porkbun is one of my favs.
who is top level design llc? what else do they own? are they affiliated with godaddy?!?!
Yes nothing is impossible, but if GD takeovers (.com) then they will play a big game with customers and will show their real colors of malpractices. So it is always better that some other registrar companies must pull up their socks and compete with GD otherwise monopoly will kill domain investors from (.com)Since GoGreedy has 29.65% market share of .com. Nothing is impossible

Yes, that's a USP of GDMy guess is renewal prices will be going up in the near future....
For reference here is list of MMX extensions with registration numbers. The most registered are .work and .vip.
