This is a comment via email from Arpad Ray, who doesn't use Twitter. Yet. :-)

Sadly it doesn't seem possible to adapt session_encode / session_decode to operate on arbitrary input because of the way the session serialization API was first written. (Serializers work on $_SESSION directly.) It may be feasible for PHP 6 but it would be a big internal BC break. It may be unwise to call session_write_close() from a session handler's destructor because other objects it uses might be destructed earlier. Shutdown functions are run before any destructors are called so they're always a safe option. Finally I'm hopeful that my patch to introduce object oriented session handlers will be adopted for PHP 5.4 - that would make debugging a lot easier since you could transparently extend whatever handler is currently in use, and still call the parent implementation.

To be honest, this isn't the big problem. Since they passed the NDAA last week, they can do what they want - and so can we (do what they want, that is).

I've been using Gandi for a few months and I've been very happy with them so far. I've needed to contact them only one time and they were very responsive.

On the whole though, it's sad that such an important space in the information industry is marked by controversy and questionable business practices.

For some time I've been pondering the idea of getting support together to found a nonprofit domain name registrar. It would operate as a nonprofit organization with some of its key principles and features being:

Complete transparency, including the composition of all fees (e.g. ICANN fees, registry fees, operating costs).

Open source. As far as is reasonable, all the software we write to serve our own needs will be released as open source.

Programmable. To the extent possible, all of our services will be exposed via an API.

Quite a few registrars are providing APIs now, but how refreshing would it be to know that your registrar isn't seeking a profit and isn't pushing products and services that you don't need?

This is nothing new regarding 1&1 as they have consistently been really bad for as long as I can remember, and not only with domain registration but with web hosting too.

So my advice to everyone is do not approach them under any circumstance even if it's tempting to take them up on their (very) cheap (but dirty) hosting plans.

There are far, far better web hosts out there with much the same price range.

For anyone considering 1&1, I'd recommend you be wary of them. When things go wrong, the quality of your registrar matters.
