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!
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

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.)
porkbun > cloudflare
In the process of moving all my stuff to porkbun as well. It’s the best.
Porkbun works good for me
+1 for Porkbun. They are exceptionally unexceptional.
