I just saw that Google will be shutting down Google Domains / selling all domains to Squarespace, which makes me wanna see if I can pick a better registrar.

I only used Google Domains for the reliability and convenience, but would rather not go with Squarespace. I don’t see any section on hosting/registrars on the main site so was wondering what anyone else recommends.

I’ve heard talk before that Njalla is bad because you don’t actually own the domain and there have been instances of them shutting down / revoking access?

Also along the same lines I wouldn’t mind recommendations for good website hosting services too.

    Sure, I mean, I don’t have any of these though, and I don’t want to deal with even the remote possibility of snail mail arriving From The Internet.

      And hey. That’s a good reason to use njalla and everyone needs to make their own decisions. It just comes at the risk of if they get shut down you really won’t have any claim to your domains. It is more private for sure but comes with elevated risk of loss compared to using a traditional registrar and giving them some contact information. My only point was to make sure people are aware of the tradeoff.
