I've been thinking of starting a Mastodon instance and have found a hosting service I fancy, but am struggling to find a decent place to purchase a domain. My criteria is that it isn't operated in the USA or a similarly fascistic country, doesn't support crypto/AI garbage, and is trustworthy. I thought hosting the actual site would be the hard part, not buying the domain. Additionally, many posts I've come across asking this question are from people in the market for email servers, so I'm not sure if those suggestions apply for me.

Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks!

I have used hetzner, they are not perfect but at least they are European and have been correcting errors in judgement they have made regarding service suspensions.
