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

In my opinion it really comes down to support, price (first year and renewal) and ethics.

For the ethics piece, if you think Google is an evil company then avoid Google Domains, as an example.

Apparently google doesn't even offer new registrations anymore

Google has trained me to think “I wonder if that still exists” every time I remember one of their products.

The Google graveyard is vast.

Dead google products are just failed advertising attempts.

And they can carry a great cost to the progression of technology, and the advancement of our society.
