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!

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

No particular reason. They seem pretty alright.

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

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

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

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

Gen.xyz

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

[-] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

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 :/
