I'm currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why?

Edit: I've registered my domain with Porkbun. I got a really cool one, it's called reallyaweso.me!

The first registrar I used was DomainSite, around 20 years ago. They still exist but are called Name.com now. They're a pretty good registrar.

I have most of my domains at Porkbun these days. They're great too, and a bit cheaper.

In terms or privacy-respecting, most registrars will mask your WHOIS info for free, to comply with laws like GDPR. Never pay for "WHOIS privacy".
