If I want the maximum anonymity while buying it?

Cloudflare provides at-cost domain name registration. It won’t be as private as njal.la, but if you end up using them for your site, then it would be one less entity to trust if you have your registration and DNS with them.

Njal.la is where I have all of my domains. You don’t have to give any info, you can access it through tor through a .onion domain, and you can pay with monero.

But why? What are you using your domains for?

I use them for email aliases via adyy, and self hosting things like jellyfin and nextcloud. I don’t really “need” the privacy, but I still like to have it if I can.

I feel like they are way too expensive, otherwise they are nice.

I also kind of feel like domains shouldn’t necessarily be private.

They are a little pricey, I’ll give you that. Just out of curiosity why shouldn’t domains be private?

Cloudflare is my go to registrar today, nothing but good experiences so far.

Same here, I moved my domains from Namecheap to Cloudflare and Cloudflare has been rock solid (no shocker there though).

Good to know. When the 60 day waiting period on transfers expires, I may move my domains to Cloudflare.
