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

    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)

      Any registrar worth their salt will offer whois privacy and local representative services nowadays. I would not use a registrar that wasn’t capable of them — even if my domain didn’t require either, I would take it as a sign their services are limited and sub par.

        Absolutely agree! Just pointing it out in case OP runs into a registrar that doesn’t offer this
