Hello,

I was wondering if I could get couple recommendations on registrars.

Recently my domain was put on a "lock" without any notice or ability to provide any documentation - my current registrar just shut me down immediately after getting a requeset from phishlabs.com - they did say I can transfer out thus reaching out here.

100% legal business with nothing shady, usa based- just happens to be on blockchain (consulting and hardware resell) - I'm pretty sure I'll be able to hash out with phishlabs (providing docs whatever) but it will take who knows how long while my website is hard down - trying to minimize the downtime. Ps. Horrible how they can shut you down afternoon on Saturday so you cannot take actions till the next week.

I scavenged through the forum and I found 3 candidates but again I would really appreciate you 2 cents. (Once again business is mainly consulting and hardware resell (servers) for blockchain projects, all registered, no bs. - crypto "keyword" may come up on the page i guess)

Domain:
1. easyDNS - was reading it helps with any dmca and won't bend easily and take you down but its located in Canada - not sure how the regulations and ties to USA are on that platform.
2.njal.la - little bit scared that I'm giving away my custody of the domain but many praises it. Again not trying to get away with anything but at the same time I don't want some unlawful reports just taking me down.
3.flokinet - just read its highly recommended but haven't got much more into details.

Hosting - I probably want to move out of usa as well since we are still immature to anything blockchain/crypto. I lot of folks were praising theonionhost and their pricing for shared wordpress is not bad - but would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you in advance for any information.
Regards

Rule #1. Stay away from Njala.
Rule #2. Stay away from GoZaddy or Godaddy.
Thank you for your reply. I kinda felt like anything USA based is just not ready. You talk about decentralization and its benefits but you don't really know it truly until you are effected.

So many opinions here cons and pros for all of those - kinda confusing almost :/ - i guess no silver bullet. Anything that is blockchain friendly?

100% true - Njala sucks. (check BHW for all threads)
If you want a good domain register - flokinet is a very reliable choice.

Thank you both! Side question, what you guys think about adding cloudflare cdn? Would that provide additional layer of protection for your registrar or its just purely for performance? DNS would be spread across but I guess registrar would still be visible. Hmm I dont know.
 
Also from hosting pov. The theonionhost vs Floki? Both are reasonable for shared wordpress - just not sure if its wise to have everything in one basket?!
