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

    Don’t use godaddy. If you search a domain they will buy it in the background so you only can get it though them

      Brb searching for 100,000 domains

      For the downvotes, it was a joke to cost them money.

      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.
