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.

call them up and ask them why they don't lmao. I actually did have to call them once for a company thing and someone in Oregon picked up.. Unheard of service.

Not a bad idea! I usually let my money do the talking, and just move if a company doesn't offer what I need. But I might make an exception in this case, thanks for the tip!

Lol yea I figured it was some governmental reason but I see name.com etc has .be so no idea why they wouldn't have it. Some TLDs have specific restrictions and only allow certain sites to resell it
