Hi! Thinking about registering a new domain for homelab setup. Not quite sure which registrar to go with but have heard good things about Porkbun here on lemmy. But, do people fill in their actual real name, and details for these sorta things? Geuninly curious, don’t want to end up on bad terms with a company. But on the other hand im just going to use this for my homelab and dont see the “need” to give away my details for this sorta thing.
Let me know how you guys do it :)
A subpoena can still reveal the owner’s information to the world. Even if it’s a frivolous lawsuit that ends up getting tossed.
I mean it all depends on why you want to hide it. I don’t care about subpoenas. I care about spammers. First time I signed up for a domain i didn’t realize you went on a public list, and it reached the point where I was getting a phone call every 20 mins or so.
This depends. A subpoena is only binding if the registrar is in a country that is legally liable. Some privacy focused registrars purposely locate themselves in countries that keep them legally insulated.
