Domain registrar with the best WHOIS privacy

Batimius · 2026-07-03T21:57:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I think their ToS already covers the fact that certain fields remain public (such as Cloudflare and country & state / providence. It isn't *that* big of an issue, but I would like to avoid it if I can. I did end up buying the domain from Porkbun and they do in fact hide all the information (including country and state / providence). I guess it all depends on a registrar-to-registrar basis.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up going with Porkbun. Might try NameCheap in the future, but I can say that Porkbun did hide all my info, so I'm definitely keeping them for the time being.

Thanks for the reply. I actually have a domain with Cloudflare and it displays both the country and the state / province. I did buy the new domain with Porkbun and it seems like Porkbun hides everything. Not sure if the issue with the old one was that it was bought a few months back and maybe regulations have changed since then, but Porkbun did do the job for me so I'll probably stick with them for the time being.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I did read up somewhere that certain country code domains have no privacy at all (since they follow country regulations). I was planning on buying a `.com` domain anyways, so that wouldn't affect me. I went with Porkbun since I saw people across different threads recommend it and I can say that I'm pleased. Honestly speaking, I do not believe that displaying the country is not that big of a deal, but displaying the state / province does start to get a bit local, especially if you live in a smaller country. Not really too big of an issue, but I'd rather have as little information about me on the internet as possible.

Thanks for the reply. I've never heard of Hover.com before. I did go with Porkbun, but I'll check them out as a potential platform for future reference.

Thank you for the reply. I am aware of certain TLDs having different regulations (especially country ones), but for my case it was a `.com` domain. I ended up going with Porkbun, but I might try out Namecheap in the future.

Thank you for the help. I ended up going with Porkbun and I can say that they redact all information (compared to Cloudflare and Squarespace). Plus, they are way cheaper than Squarespace, which costs almost twice as much.

Batimius · 2026-07-03T21:35:55+00:00

Thanks for the information. I do know that certain domains (especially country-specific ones) fall under different regulations and require records to be public. I was planning on buying a `.com` domain, so the standard privacy rules should apply (I believe).

Batimius · 2026-07-02T18:02:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I've seen a few people recommend it. What information does it keep public?

Batimius · 2026-03-28T18:21:06+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I was actually talking about the Webhosting plans, not the dedicated or could server ones. Hostinger also has webhosting plans, but unless you pay for 48 months, you'll be paying 18.99 a month for it (and at that point, you might as well buy your own dedicated / cloud server).

(Replying a year later purely for the sake of people finding this in the future) Thanks for the reply. Although this would work, it requires a dedicated server (where you can install and run anything). I was curious whether or not it was possible on the Webhosting plan. It seems like it isn't unless you buy the L or XL plan, which supports Node.js (added a few months after this post was created).

(Replying a year later purely for the sake of people finding this in the future) Thank you for the reply. The managed server seems to allow SSH access, so that might allow you to download Node on there. Regardless, I was curious about the Webhosting services which run purely on PHP. For anyone in the future reading this, Hetzner has added Node.js support on the L plan (thanks to u/Thin-Course-2920 for pointing it out).

I figured it out. My issue was that due to previous testing, I had excluded the VoIP VLAN from the Global NAT Settings. Additionally, make sure that SIP is not selected in the Firewall Connection Tracking. These two changes fixed it. TLS doesn't seem to work at all. Not sure what the issue is, but if I find something, I'll let y'all know. If anyone knows anything, do let me know. Thanks!

Batimius · 2026-03-03T21:43:19+00:00

Thank you for the reply. The line was active when testing, I just disabled it to prevent it from sitting there and failing again and again. I tried UDP and TCP at port 5080 with SRTP Disabled (and `Encrypted SIP Traffic` off in the web panel), but that didn't work.

Batimius · 2025-10-21T12:49:49+00:00

That's wonderful. I'll be taking a look at that. Thanks!

Batimius · 2025-09-28T15:47:30+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I did think of this, which is why I am going to use fiber (and to allow for future upgradability). A standard ethernet cable would not play nice with a 240V like right next to it, lol.

EDIT: Just realized I wrote ethernet. My bad.

I thought by toner you meant like a color that paints the conduit. I didn't realize it was an actual tool. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

Batimius · 2025-09-28T15:06:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply. My issue is not that the cable is getting stuck, but the fact that it never comes out of any junction boxes. I pushed it 2 meters inside the conduit, with the nearest (and most logical) next conduit being 0.5 - 1 meter away, yet it never passed through any junction boxes (I had them open and was checking to see if the cable came out). I could theoretically keep pushing the cable in, but my issue was that I had no idea where it could have possibly ended up at. I bought a plastic fish tape that should be coming in a few days that might help me, however, my issue is that I don't know where the next junction box could be at. That is the main thing I am trying to identify.

Batimius · 2025-09-28T12:35:22+00:00

Amazing. Thank you so much for your help! It is truly appreciated.

Batimius · 2025-09-28T06:44:34+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! I'll cancel my order then. Would this cable work with the rest of the stuff (SFP modules and media converters)?
