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

I think in Europe the domain name providers (or would one rather call them resellers ?) switched to redacting all private domain holder information since a few years. It was actually quite horrible like it was before, so much email spam, a free ticket for spammers to put all those Whois information wide open on the Internet. Some providers, like Greenhost in NL, provided Whois masking (cloaking ?) for customers paying a bit more.
I also tried Contabo, because I have other stuff there and they wanted a proper whois entry
