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!

    Cloudflare, because my understanding is that they typically renew at basically cost, and that’s where most of my other DNS stuff is anyway.

    I typically buy domains at whatever registrar is cheapest at the time for initial purchase, which most recently was namecheap IIRC.

        Likely a bad description. I more meant DNS, page rules, tunnels, zero trust logins, and more. It’s honestly just easier to keep it all in one place, and to be honest they are one of the more reliable sources for… literally all of those things.

            Nah, it’s just stuff I set up as needed.

            The page rules are basic, one redirects to an Etsy shop, another to serve images for email from a cdn, and another for handling QR codes.

            Tunnels are set up for subdomains to reach internal network stuff, with a Cloudflare Zero Trust login which prompts for those that don’t have secure logins.

            The DNS stuff is subdomains, email records, and a few records for certain game servers.

            I also use cloudflare to monitor my DKIM rejections, though my email is through mxroute as they have/had a lifetime option and I don’t like subscriptions.

            There are a few different sites as well, one is personal, one is for public facing stuff, a couple for side businesses.

            It’s honestly just easier to keep as much together as possible.
