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

    If you’re not particularly set on getting a .net consider getting an EU domain name. They tend to have much better registry privacy included out of the box. With .net/.com/.org you will have to also purchase whois privacy service on top of the domain cost to keep your personal details private.

    I can recommend netim.com (France) and inwx.de (Germany) as reliable providers. You can also look for a registrar in your country is you get your country’s domain.

    This list may also help. Shop around, see who has better prices and more features. Pay attention to the renewal price too not just the initial registration price.
