How much does it matter where my domain registrar is located?

SelfhostedEnglish • 7 months ago

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

GoDaddy is the worst fucking web host, too. WHEN they fuck your website up, you wait two HOURS on hold to get them to fix it, if your lucky. If your unlucky, you wait over three hours, and they don’t fix it.
