I’m currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why?

Edit: I’ve registered my domain with Porkbun. I got a really cool one, it’s called reallyaweso.me!

    Currently using Infomaniak.com and I’m really liking it. They are a bit pricy compared to other registrars but

    • they have solid privacy policy
    • their servers use renewable energy
    • they let you set up DDNS with a simple bash script
    • they offer some cool email and kSuite benefits with the purchase of a domain

    Recently moved over to porkbun after dealing with a couple billing issues with namecheap and not getting the best customer service. Been pretty happy so far.

      I moved all of my domains to Porkbun when Google Domains started to close down or become SquareSpace or whatever they were doing.

      No complaints so far.

      I’ve been using Porkbun for over 5 years and haven’t had any issues. I switched from a mix of Google Domains and Namecheap.

    What privacy concerns do you have? I’m all for privacy, but I don’t really see where registrars are a delicate topic in that. The most that comes to mind is that some (most?) have a service where they do not give out your name and address for whois requests, but instead the details of the registrar (namecheap has that for example).

    Contabo, since I also rented a VPS with them at the time. Really great service, complete dns control. Can only recommend

    Google Domains because I have a Google account and buying a domain on it was easy when I needed it. I’m still on Google Domains but you’ve reminded me I need to continue the transfer to Cloudflare before I get forced over to Square Space because they don’t support Dynamic DNS.

    Cloudflare.
