Privacy respecting registrars
2026-07-13 00:18 UTC
Bonjourno! I got a couple of domain names to register and I wanted to switch providers from google. I checked out a couple of the bigger ones like Cloudflare and Infomaniak but they’re all asking me to upload a government photo id for security or whatever… I figured I’d ask around here to see what yall are using. I dont need anything crazy, mostly just the registration part. Bonus points for hosting dns with an api to manage records & what not but that part isnt necessary.
EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions! I really appreciate yall; This is why I love Lemmy. I ended up going with njalla. They got me when I read tgis on their about page:
Other organisations will brag about which customers they have. We brag about not telling who our customers are.

I used porkbun, and never had to upload an ID (but I am in USA). IIRC still need to provide an address, but they mask WHOIS.

I use PorkBun. I didn’t have to upload any id, but I pay with a credit card so they do have my name and whatnot. They have a pretty decent API to manage whatever you need.

Cloudflare makes you upload ID?
