I’m currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why?
minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-29 months agoThe first registrar I used was DomainSite, around 20 years ago. They still exist but are called Name.com now. They’re a pretty good registrar. I have most of my domains at Porkbun these days. They’re great too, and a bit cheaper. In terms or privacy-respecting, most registrars will mask your WHOIS info for free, to comply with laws like GDPR. Never pay for “WHOIS privacy”.
