I am in the hunt right now for a domain (I plan to use for email and such, meaning, things that would be tied to my legal person). As some of you know, by law in many places it is required to have a set of legally true information to register a domain (from name to house address, in case the domain needs to be verified to belong to a real person).
I was checking porkbun a second ago, and the privacy policy really does not give me confidence (they mention very clearly there is sale and ai training involved). I am from Europe so I would expect gdpr to be respected by default, however, they say I would have to send an email to get my rights and identify myself (I expect an Id upload which is not really a thing I want to do).
Considering all this, what are the better places for domains? I expect to pay more than porkbun, but if it people that do it right, so be it.
Cloudflare are my go to. Mostly because they sell at cost though, don’t have to worry about being shafted on renewals. https://www.cloudflare.com/domains/
Cloudflare is one of the largest surveillance operations in the world. They might not directly sell your data, but they are absolutely in a position to exploit your data and track your behavior. They should be avoided if privacy is a concern.
I didn’t check cloudflare yet, but I will need to double check their policies. Although I do know domain names and renewal shafting are a known problem
I would caution against Cloudflare, that’s American stuff
That and they’re right wing, libertarian pro-pedo garbage
Like “8chan is fine by us” levels of 🤮
