Which non-US domain registrar to use? (startrek.website)

I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello, sure you can ask :-)
GANDI was bought by Strikwerda Investments and then they raised their price. For instance for a .net domain it was around €15 and now it's more than €20 for a new domain name. If you want to keep the domain in GANDI the renew is around €38. I think it will work with GANDI, you still have the choice to change after if you like.
