Domain Registrars
EU-based domain registration services that let you register, transfer, and manage domain names for various TLDs. Typically these registrars will include free, basic DNS for the domain. By choosing an EU registrar (ideally with a European TLD!) ensures your critical assets remain under EU jurisdiction, supporting European digital sovereignty.
Domain Chief, Gandi, OVHcloud, Hostinger and Netim all offer free WHOIS privacy by default. United Domains and Register365 sell it as a paid add-on. Important: WHOIS privacy may not be available for all TLDs and some European TLDs don't allow third-party privacy services at all.
Gandi, Hostinger and Domain Chief offer modern, REST-style APIs for the full domain lifecycle, including the initial registration. Others (Netim, Register365, Netcup) offer less modern SOAP-style APIs with various limitations. Choose Gandi or Domain Chief if you want the best developer experience.
