Did you hear about that whole controversy with RegisterFly a few months back? They basically screwed their customers and now there is a lawsuit and ICANN complaints, it is a huge mess. What if that happened to you and you purchased a ton of domains through that registrar? Even worse, what if your registrar completely deleted your account? What if they simply made a mistake? It’s scary to think about.
There is a fairly easy way to avoid such issues or at least minimize your damages - use multiple registrars. If one goes down and screws you, at least your other domains are safe.
I am not saying you shouldn’t host multiple domains with the same registrar - I am only saying you should split them up a bit. If you own 5 domains, why not do 3 through one place and 2 through another? If you own 100, why not do 50/50 or 25/25/25/25 splits? At least then if one place deletes your account you only have to fight for 25 domains instead of all 100 (and you can continue monetizing the other 75).
