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!

    I want my private information to be hidden in Whois requests. Also, I don’t want to buy a domain from a registrar that seems very sketchy.

      Most registrars offer whois privacy protection which is a randomized forwarder, so if someone emails the contact it can get to you but none of your information is shown. Usually about $2 a year, don’t forget to auto-renew it.

      Namecheap usually adds it for free for the initial registration period.

        Some add this as an additional fee and others include it in the annual price.
