Question after reading this new article : https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/01/criticism-as-dutch-domain-registry-plans-move-to-amazon-cloud/

My current preferences :

  • Not more expensive than two euros a month
  • Whois information cloaking
  • Not profiting from some Pacific Island money deal
  • Privacy friendly

Edit : Found a spreadsheet by EFF from 2017 which gives some insights : https://www.eff.org/wp/which-internet-registries-offer-best-protection-domain-owners

I more or less agree with you.

Do you know of an alternative service, which is easy to use, allows a private whois entry, but gives you the ownership of the domain?

Before njalla, I tried domain.com and I couldn't get the domain in 2 days after ordering it, so I cancelled. (they wrote an email saying that they are reviewing my order and will get back to me in 24h, which they didn't).

I just want to pay and get a domain without the hoops and without giving them my personal address and phone number.
