Hi, I’m thinking of building a personal website about tech, privacy, open source, etc. Any recommendations about where can I buy domain? .com is taken, but everything else is not. Shuld I take .tech (few dolars more expensive) or something more basic?

    If you have a country-specific TLD (like .ca for Canada) I would buy that. Otherwise .co is not bad. I find most of the others look spammy.

    I’ve used Namecheap for my domains for the past 15 years or so with no issues. Their hosting is terrible though.

      Do note though that for privacy purposes, a .us domain is not the best idea. You must be a U.S. citizen or business and registrars may try to verify your identity.

        I’ve had major downtime issues and their support was awful. Performance is also not what I’d expect based on their advertised specs.
