Hi :) How concernt are you about leaking your personal information by using a custom-domain for emails? Because anyone could see, who registered the domain, correct?
Many or most registrars have the option to hide your info from public view. I know that Namecheap.com offers that for free.
subpoenas can still reveal the owner
Your threat model will determine whether spending extra on Njalla is worth it over simple Whois protection from your registrar.
Domain privacy should be included on most TLDs.

Yup, no getting around that.
If course there is. Give fictitious info. Pay with monero. Use Tor.
That will get your domain shut down if they find out. Risky since all your accounts will be tied to emails at that domain.
Not if you choose a good domain provider…
Do you have any that you like?
The one run by the Swedish pirate bay guy that many mention seems the best
besides lying, which might be illegal in your area, and/or grounds for having the domain seized if anyone complains.
You can use Njalla to register domains anonymously. They offer anonymous crypto currency payments with currencies like Monero. The company was created by one of the founders of The Pirate Bay. They’re also on Mastodon: https://njalla.social/@njalla
Most have WHOIS privacy. Anybody looking up the domain can see that it’s registered to whichever company you choose but cannot get your direct information from it. Obviously, if you’re under any kind of investigation or something, then the government will just subpoena the domain registrar and ask for your personal information.
Some companies such as porkbun have whois privacy.

Yeah, not much you can do about that sadly, other than not doing this gs that would result in a subpoena.
I have seen people with an axe to grind use frivolous lawsuits to reveal domain identities, you don’t actually have to do anything wrong for that to happen.
The owner says that the king of Madagascar owns the domain. Good luck.
Porkbun vs namecheap. Which is the better one?
Porkbun because they accept crypto. At least to me that is a very important factor
Namecheap also accepts bitcoin payments
Cool. I was not aware of that
Bitcoin isn’t very anonymous lol. Its worse than paying with a credit card.
Better to use a privacy coin like Monero.
