I got some domain names to register and every place Im looking at is asking me to upload a photo id because I live in a dystopian hellscape… Anyway, I figured I’d ask around here and the selfhosted communities for some recommendations on privacy respecting registrars. I appreciate yall!
EDIT: Thanks friends, I ended up going with njalla. I really appreciate the suggestions. Stay safe out there.


What are your thoughts on https://incognet.io/?
I am using them because I was able to pay with Monero, which is incredibly important to me.
They’re not as cheap as my previous domain registrar, but my previous domain registrar did not accept Monero, and that wasn’t something I could deal with.
How would you say they compare with https://njal.la/? I have heard that https://njal.la/ you do not actually own the domain. Is the same true for https://incognet.io/?
Considering that you don’t have to actually give them a name or anything, I’m betting that’s probably the case.
Do you know if a name / address is required for https://njal.la/?
I don’t as I’ve never used them.
I hadn’t heard of them, so I don’t know enough to have an informed opinion. I’ll check them out.
Yeah see what you think. They look good on the surface but some elements like their encrypted email hosting are still in development.
Seems fishy.
How so?
