How much does it matter where my domain registrar is located?

Mr. Forager@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 49 points –

Edit, Solved in comments 👌

I want to buy a domain name for personal usage (reverse proxy, selfhosting serivces). I'll probably go with a general purpose .net or my country specifc one. I am based in Northern Europe.

  • Does it matter based on where I am located where the domain is registered?
  • Any recommendations for domain registrars in that regard?

Thanks

Brb searching for 100,000 domains

For the downvotes, it was a joke to cost them money.

I wonder if I could automate searching only the highest value domains.

Just go for the shortest domains, short domain names carry a premium. Or rip through /usr/share/dict/words. Or both.
