Hi, I'm thinking of building a personal website about tech, privacy, open source, etc. Any recommendations about where can I buy domain? .com is taken, but everything else is not. Shuld I take .tech (few dolars more expensive) or something more basic?

I bought mine through them, it's very slightly more expensive (less expensive than I'd consider a dealbreaker), but I don't see anything that'd make it worse than other registrars. At the same time, I'm not very familiar with how other domain registrars work, so I'm probably not the best person to give a review

Nice, did you have to give them any personal info?

The least private way to pay them is via PayPal and they only ask an email or xmpp account. They accept cryptocurrencies if you are into that. They ask nothing for the whois, and they even let you write whatever you want ;)

Thanks, that's even better than I thought honestly
