Edit, Solved in comments 👌

I want to buy a domain name for personal usage (reverse proxy, selfhosting serivces). I’ll probably go with a general purpose .net or my country specifc one. I am based in Northern Europe.

  • Does it matter based on where I am located where the domain is registered?
  • Any recommendations for domain registrars in that regard?

Thanks

    I would also include support for Dynamic DNS and API access as well. Those both can come in handy depending on what your doing. I know this wasn’t as common years back but maybe it is more supported now.

    I used Namecheap and I think they required that I have like $50 credit on my account before the API access would open up. Maybe that has changed, like I said this was years ago last time I need to look.

      Fair point. I failed to mentioned features in my previous comment. Things like WHOIS Privacy are essential to me and I imagine it is for most of us (self hosters)
