Looking to set up a basic static website. What domain registrar should I go with? Would prefer something that has more privacy obviously. Any recommendations on hosting services (cannot host on own hardware right now)?
I would need something that has reasonable security, can work with LetsEncrypt SSL certs, and preferably has either privacy respecting analytics or no analytics. Don’t want google to bother me or my website visitors.
Just transferred over my domain. Pretty impressed by their security and the fact they have an account delete button right there in settings.
Gotta say, the process was supposed to take up to 5 days but my old registrar completed it in minutes. Pretty impressive! So shoutout to Namesilo for being pretty damn stellar.
Edit: Namesilo deleted my account in minutes of sending a support request, so shout out again for being so responsive!

Porkbun is great for domain, haven’t tried their hosting but I’d it’s as good as their other stuff it should be great!
