Continuing my migration off US-hosted/owned infrastructure. Somehow the domain registrar I chose because it is EU-hosted/owned is using nameservers with a .ca TLD and all my customer service and billing is also coming from .ca addresses??? 😑

🤦♀️ When I clicked on the "EN" language version, it redirected me to the Canadian version of their services. Now inquiring if I can get customer support/web UI in English with an account from their EU-based entity. I'll still do it if I can't, just need to figure out how I can order my services from the entity I want

I have succeeded in creating an account using English on the European version of the domain registrar, but now I have to wait out the rest of the 60 day waiting period before I can move my domains again
Lesson learned: assume there might be a non-EU version of the EU service with identical branding and UI and don't accidentally sign up to that version instead 🙄
