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!

I've been using nearlyfreespeech.net for a very long time. They're a small, reliable, outfit that's been around forever and definitely respects your privacy.

[–] flux@lemmyis.fun 2 points 7 months ago

Same here. I've never had a reason to switch away.

Ghandi.net because a paranoid DNS expert told me he uses it

Namecheap because cheap

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Chose Namecheap just for domain and later ionos and their mail service for my 2nd.

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

+1 for namecheap. I'm happy with them as a registrar. Their support has always been fast and helpful if I have an issue. I use CloudFlare for DNS as they were easier to setup something for dynamic IP.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago

Same setup for me.

Veebimajutus. They are a local registrar in my country and I like to support local businesses.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
DNS Domain Name Service/System
ESXi VMWare virtual machine hypervisor
IP Internet Protocol
VPS Virtual Private Server (opposed to shared hosting)

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 9 acronyms.

OVH because cheap enough for me, europe based and reliable.

[–] AustralianSimon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I stick with the big name registrars and then just use the cheapest for that TLD.

[–] ChrislyBear@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Initally some local site, then I transferred to GoDaddy, then to OVH (since GD is shit). One is still at Cloudflare (tried to move there, but they don't support al TLDs that I use, like ".eu").

For DNS I use Cloudflare. They provide a layer of privacy, i.e. your server IPs don't get exposed directly.

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

INWX because it's a local provider which seems decent.

[–] Kvan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Was on Google cause I just initially was setting them up there. Moved to cloudflare the day they added dev tlds.
