Question after reading this new article : https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/01/criticism-as-dutch-domain-registry-plans-move-to-amazon-cloud/
My current preferences :
- Not more expensive than two euros a month
- Whois information cloaking
- Not profiting from some Pacific Island money deal
- Privacy friendly
Edit : Found a spreadsheet by EFF from 2017 which gives some insights : https://www.eff.org/wp/which-internet-registries-offer-best-protection-domain-owners
afaik, that is the only way to legally have an anonymous whois entry on the clearnet (please correct me if I am wrong)

I more or less agree with you.
Do you know of an alternative service, which is easy to use, allows a private whois entry, but gives you the ownership of the domain?
Before njalla, I tried domain.com and I couldn’t get the domain in 2 days after ordering it, so I cancelled. (they wrote an email saying that they are reviewing my order and will get back to me in 24h, which they didn’t).
I just want to pay and get a domain without the hoops and without giving them my personal address and phone number.
I think in Europe the domain name providers (or would one rather call them resellers ?) switched to redacting all private domain holder information since a few years. It was actually quite horrible like it was before, so much email spam, a free ticket for spammers to put all those Whois information wide open on the Internet. Some providers, like Greenhost in NL, provided Whois masking (cloaking ?) for customers paying a bit more.
I also tried Contabo, because I have other stuff there and they wanted a proper whois entry
