I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What’s a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it’s my first time doing this and I’m a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

    OVH no problems for years.

    BUT choose domain that is also maintained by non-US organization.
    Like national TLDs from the EU, or fancy like one., cloud., …

% IANA WHOIS server
