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.
I had the same choosing problem some years ago, but with VPS. Some of them are really private, hosting in e.g. Moldova, but you cannot really trust them, others will never ask your ID, but you have to pay with your credit card and somehow put a real name and address. The same applucable for domain sellers. You decide where you balance: you trust them completely and they don’t care who you are or you choose where to give up complete privacy. I use Namecheap and Spaceship (basically the same, but cheaper).
