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

My two issues with porkbun:

They don't seem to support wildcard/catch all email forwarding

Dynamic DNS is done with an API key that has access to the entire account(!!!)

Though, I might move to them anyway (just moved a domain to namecheap which I used years ago and wow their ux sucks, and they don't support dane or sshfp, Google domains was really good rip)

Maybe you could use a provider that isn't your domain registrar? I personally use Cloudflare.

I'm pretty sure you can setup Dynamic DNS with Cloudflare. I don't personally use that feature, but they have a ton of DNS configurations for you to choose. My domain's email is also managed by Cloudflare. And it's completely free!
