I just saw that Google will be shutting down Google Domains / selling all domains to Squarespace, which makes me wanna see if I can pick a better registrar.

I only used Google Domains for the reliability and convenience, but would rather not go with Squarespace. I don’t see any section on hosting/registrars on the main site so was wondering what anyone else recommends.

I’ve heard talk before that Njalla is bad because you don’t actually own the domain and there have been instances of them shutting down / revoking access?

Also along the same lines I wouldn’t mind recommendations for good website hosting services too.

    Same. Use namecheap. But can’t I fully trust them either.

      The question is what is the thing you do not trust? Domain registration is not anonymous. You can use privacy feature, so it is not simple to track you down but typically the registrar needs to know who you are. I am not aware of other alternatives other then Tor services though maybe there are.
