Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use?

  Those reviews don’t look very inspiring, not gonna lie.

  Ultimately I don’t think these “privacy-first” domain registrars are a great choice, which is a rare thing to say on the internet, but you’re dealing with private property here and being ICANN-certified (which Njalla isn’t) is kind of important if you’re gonna do something serious with your domain.

    Njalla is what you use if you don’t want your name plastered all over the domain for various reasons

      Its also what you use if you want to have your domain stolen, apparently.

        People have had bad experiences and the founder of Njalla hasn’t helped. There are other Domain registrars with a similar strategy to Njalla if you prefer them instead. One can’t deny that not having your name on a domain allows for one to host… err, sensitive stuff

    Their trust pilot page is a shitshow, but I’ve had few problems in the 7 years I have used them. I have 9 domains registered, one of which is not possible to get back since I’m required to provide proof that I live in Sweden (.se domain). Wasn’t the case when I initially bought it in 2018.

      Sounds like a severe case of Stockholm syndrome to me. /s

      Anyways, you do you buddy. I don’t trust them at all after those reviews. Especially when IONOS exists.

        They don’t offer .se domains anymore for this reason. IONOS looks good, thanks for that info.

    I’m quite happy with EuroDNS. They even include free email housing if you want it.
