I did a quick Lemmy search and didn’t find much. Are there any suggested domain registrars that aren’t evil? I’m mostly looking for domain name and not hosting right now but won’t exclude them. This would be my first domain so I’m new.
I saw njalla, banhof, and 1984 web hosting. Are these good, or any other suggestions?
Edit: DDNS would be a plus

njalla is what i use. i like it since they’re not technically a domain registrar. they are the “middleman” for you.
i’m also a big fan of how they responded to DHL
They response is brutal
Brutal. But in a good way.
I ended up going with njalla. Quite simple and they take crypto. For the record they do offer Dynamic DNS.
Nice
Not been able to find a good registrar. Gandi is a fake shithole, all the other ones too. I decided if I couldn’t get ethical domains I would just get cheap ones, so cloudflare.
Stay tuned for names.sr.ht, they will charge 20$ a year to allow you to register unlimited domains with zero markup, and profit sustainably without data collection from that tiny subscription fee (plus tons of DevOps). They are waving the 20$ a year for people who can’t afford it without any questions, and the platform is open source.
NOTE: names.sr.ht has nothing, go directly to sr.ht to learn more about the platform
Re ethical hosting:
I’m impartial to uberspace, so many pluses!
♥️ (Not sponsored, I hope it becomes obvious these are good services when you visit their respective homepages)
Thanks for the insight! I’m interested in how sr.ht turns out.
Easydns are respected in the industry.
They also have a pro freedom CEO, and used to send out news letters covering intl privacy issues in tech.
What do you mean by “evil”? I use Namesilo, which includes " free" privacy whois and it’s overall moderately cheap but I’m unsure if this is what you mean or if they are considered somewhat shady.
I just mean they are trustworthy with my info and aren’t difficult to deal with
