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!

Gandi.net

GDRP and anonymous hosting. Pretty great.

Gandi did something in the last year or two that made me migrate off them. Don’t remember what it was but it was a deal breaker.

Edit: found it further down in the thread. They even migrated to porkbun like I did! https://lemmy.world/comment/8536944

Their pricing structure doesn’t affect what I have hosted and I’m selfhosting email in dockermail. My whois is still anonymized how I like.

If you don’t have domains with TLDs that Gandi charges 3x-6x more than you can get elsewhere… then yeah, their registrar and DNS services are pretty nice.

+1 for Gandi, as they also have an API for management as well and support ACME DNS challenge for Let’s encrypt.
