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’ve been moving my stuff over to Porkbun from Gandi after Gandi updated their ToS and changed their pricing structure.

+1 porkbun. $1.60 for a .top whois privacy. 2FA with security key. Even let me host my own nameserver, so I can have separate internal and external views.

Any registrar allows you to host your own nameservers. You just point to your server from the registrar console.

Cloudflare does not.

Yeah, you have to pay for that feature on cloudflare but considering that they are so cheap I think it’s not so bad.

Every other registrar I have seen allows it though (they are usually more expensive since they earn a profit on registrations.)

+1 for Porkbun. They are exceptionally unexceptional.
