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
Cloudflare for support (tooling), Njal.la for privacy (run by the pirate bay founder), porkbun for a happy medium and for the cool kids.
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.
Same, Google was easy and as cheap as anyone else. Now Cloudflare
Namecheap because I pay 88 cents a year for my domain.
Which TLD?
(Numbers).xyz
I only use it for stuff for me. If you do a real name it’s more.
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’ve been using Porkbun for over 5 years and haven’t had any issues. I switched from a mix of Google Domains and Namecheap.
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 with Porkbun for over a year now. No complaints.
