my experience with njalla

Njalla is a privacy friendly domain registrar (they also offer a VPN and VPSes).

They are.. fairly notorious and have an “interesting” approach to legal threats.

In fact, this domain for this website (forever2k38.net) is registered with them.

how does njalla work?

Njalla is a proxy registrar. They buy domains on your behalf from other registrars.

They accept payment in cryptocurrency and PayPal.

If you’re going to buy from them I recommend using Monero.

After you register your domain it works just like any other domain registrar.

what info do they need?

NOTHING.

I was fairly surprised seeing this. I deposited some crypto, clicked buy on my domain and just got it?

I didn’t need to supply billing addresses or anything like that. The only thing you need to sign up is an E-Mail or XMPP address.

They have a Tor hidden service too.

downsides?

It’s expensive as fuck.

Spaceship charges 5$ for your first year and the domain renews at 12$.

Njalla charges 15€ (EUR, not USD) per year. No first year discount or anything.
