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

Interesting choice, thanks. I guess for email with an onion domain I’d have to self host the email.

The .onion means it’s an onion service. This requires a Tor connection both for the host and the users. And frankly, hosting an onion service is not exactly easy to do it right, due to additional security considerations. Many self hosting guides assume a typical residential connection or a rented VPS without an onion service.

Yeah but this way you can only communicate with other Tor users. Also the mail server can prolly easily leak your actual IP if you don’t harden it well.

Free, more secure, and only accessible by ~2% of Internet users
