Maybe you could use a provider that isn't your domain registrar? I personally use Cloudflare.

I'm pretty sure you can setup Dynamic DNS with Cloudflare. I don't personally use that feature, but they have a ton of DNS configurations for you to choose. My domain's email is also managed by Cloudflare. And it's completely free!

It was initially available. I checked multiple websites to compare prices/services. And when I entered it into GoDaddy.com, the domain was bought. I checked the WHOIS out of curiosity and coincidentally it's owned by a GoDaddy subsidiary.

Porkbun! There are many to pick from but from my experience Porkbun includes everything you need out of the box at no additional cost. Namecheap has very good first year deals, but after that it almost doubles in price.

Which registrar you pick initially doesn't matter too much. I started with Namecheap then moved to Porkbun after a year with them (Completely free to move, but you'll have to buy an extra year if you move tho)

Don't use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

The headline is a bit click-baity. It's promoted as a way for your friend to recommend matches for you, which is shown as a badge on the people in your feed. It's meant to be a fun feature to play with your friend.

Although I agree that people get paid less here, I highly doubt that it costs an ISP in the US 8x more to transfer data than an ISP in Thailand.

I'm not really trying to argue that Thai internet is cheap, it's that internet elsewhere is exorbitantly expensive.

Maybe OneDrive? I think people who aren't tech-oriented find OneDrive slightly harder to use than Google Drive. But you do get granular control over view/edits permission and expiry of links.

In Thailand I'm getting 400Mbps upload and download with unlimited data.

It costs about 300฿/mo ≈ $8.7/mo

I have no idea what is a reasonable price for a game like this, but the price seems a tad bit expensive since I don't know what to expect, and the fact that the game will probably lack content for the first few months (Or possibly never without the season passes).

I'm still excited to see a much more optimized and refined Payday. And although I don't like DLCs, I think how Payday 2 does DLCs is pretty reasonable. I just hope Payday 3 does something similar and doesn't do a subscription/microtransaction based model.
