Edit, Solved in comments ๐Ÿ‘Œ

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

You don't "use" the domain for reverse proxy but a server. Where the server is located at matters. While you can get a domain and a server from the same hoster both still are different things.

Think of a telephone number (domain) and a phone (server).
