Bonjourno! I got a couple of domain names to register and I wanted to switch providers from google. I checked out a couple of the bigger ones like Cloudflare and Infomaniak but they’re all asking me to upload a government photo id for security or whatever… I figured I’d ask around here to see what yall are using. I dont need anything crazy, mostly just the registration part. Bonus points for hosting dns with an api to manage records & what not but that part isnt necessary.
I use PorkBun. I didn’t have to upload any id, but I pay with a credit card so they do have my name and whatnot. They have a pretty decent API to manage whatever you need.
I hear that new porkbun accouts might need to submit ID so thank goodness I made an account before that
If you’re in the U.S. you can use Privacy.com. No need to ever give name, address, or real credit card info ever again. It’s pretty nice.
Who is behind it and how do you know they are trustworthy? I wasn’t able to find much info but it seems it’s just some company (not a non profit / charity or anything). I know they have paid plans but it seems they also have an incentive or at least an ability to sell your purchase data?
No clue, but trusting one company with your info, rather than every company reduces your attack vector massively. My name, address, credit card info don’t have x chances of getting stolen or sold, but only 1.
Yeah I guess so, but every site seems to be a Shop App now so it’s hardly more than one company anyway 😅
I set up a business site recently and I accept payments through both stripe and PayPal but the payment form looks exactly like shop’s so I wonder if people are just using a standard form or something.
Ah I just assumed because they all look the same, but maybe you’re right!
I thought the exact same thing as you until I loaded my cart page and saw it and got confused lol.
