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

https://www.inwx.de/

No particular reason. They seem pretty alright.

Easydns.ca, no privacy issues. Nothing about me personally in the who's db (.net tld)

[–] EarMaster 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

Internet.bs because it's cheap and had a cctld I wanted

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Was on Namesilo. No complaints, save for the slow website. Changed to porkburn because it was a bit cheaper.

cloudflare takes 0% commision, but its cloudflare

I use Infomaniak, as they follow swiss privacy laws and had the cheapest registration for .ch when I registered it first.

Gen.xyz

name.com. I don't remember why I picked them, but they do no BS and the service is fine.

Ive been thinking about #dnsregistrars and #ssl certificates lately. Does anyone know a #coop #registrar ?

Not sure why you got downvoted, wanting to do business with a work co-op is valid. I don't however know of one :/
