[Njalla](https://njal.la) is a privacy friendly domain registrar (they also offer a VPN and VPSes).

They are.. fairly notorious and have an "interesting" approach to [legal threats](https://njal.la/blog/furnish/).

In fact, this domain for this website ([forever2k38.net](https://forever2k38.net)) is registered with them.

## how does njalla work?

Njalla is a proxy registrar. They buy domains on your behalf from other registrars.

They accept payment in cryptocurrency and PayPal.

If you're going to buy from them I recommend using [Monero](https://getmonero.org).

After you register your domain it works just like any other domain registrar.

## what info do they need?

NOTHING.

I was fairly surprised seeing this. I deposited some crypto, clicked buy on my domain and just got it?

I didn't need to supply billing addresses or anything like that. The only thing you need to sign up is an E-Mail or XMPP address.

They have a Tor hidden service too.

## downsides?

It's expensive as fuck.

[Spaceship](https://spaceship.com) charges 5$ for your first year and the domain renews at 12$.

Njalla charges 15€ (EUR, not USD) per year. No first year discount or anything.
