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 :)
i do. i use https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ as their promise is ‘by subpoena only’ on personal info.
its actually a smaller outfit run by a bunch of linux geeks… you pay for what you actually use. been my goto for more than 15 years
Huh, I tried to use their price estimator for my use case but it comes out the same for cloudflare pages + function and their goodies (D1, R2, DO, etc.) usage (around $5). But it is neat for in-between usage that is smaller than what cloudflare offers.
oh, i dont use them to host anything except DNS. OP asked about registrars.
The DNS is cheap. Something like a penny a day for privacy. I typically paid like $50 every 2-3 years for both renewal and DNS on a couple domains.
Was kind of a PITA to be honest as I remember their login process was a little weird. I eventually moved on when they were slow to adopt some of the newer TLDs.
