Hi! Thinking about registering a new domain for homelab setup. Not quite sure which registrar to go with but have heard good things about Porkbun here on lemmy. But, do people fill in their actual real name, and details for these sorta things? Geuninly curious, don’t want to end up on bad terms with a company. But on the other hand im just going to use this for my homelab and dont see the “need” to give away my details for this sorta thing.

Let me know how you guys do it :)

    The registrar owns the domain then, not you. I made a root comment about Njalla which offers this service.

    edit: Well you could use fake data. Still risk losing claim to it. I tried doing this with name cheap and they figured it out somehow that the info I gave wasn’t real. Was years ago so I don’t remember what I put in. My guess is it was one of those soft credit lookups (where did you live between X and Y?). Could also be misremembering.
