Hi! Thinking about registering a new domain for homelab setup. Not quite sure which registrar to go with but have heard good things about Porkbun here on lemmy. But, do people fill in their actual real name, and details for these sorta things? Geuninly curious, don’t want to end up on bad terms with a company. But on the other hand im just going to use this for my homelab and dont see the “need” to give away my details for this sorta thing.
Let me know how you guys do it :)
There are registrars that allow the info to be redacted from public WHOIS.
Unless the registrar accepts cryptocurrencies as a payment, there’s no anonymous way to set up a domain. Even if you fill fake information, you’d still need to use a credit card or bank account that’ll disclose personal info (such as full name, billing address, etc).
Yeah, but quite a few of them DO accept crypto - then it’s fine I guess?
Well probably some registrars don’t give the data from payments away as much. Though on the other hand giving fake info will make you look more unique and trackable.
