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

Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don't have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.
