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!
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)

Njal.la. They buy the domain for you and let you control it. They also don’t give whois information by default.
porkbun is good and cheap
I rent a domain from namesilo
We usually just say that we’re registering a domain name, or renewing the registration.
Renting a domain usually refers to something different entirely. It’s when someone owns a valuable domain name, and someone else pays them a monthly or yearly fee to use it, like renting a house. It’s sometimes done with premium domains that would be very expensive to acquire outright.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up!
