Hi! Thinking about registering a new domain for homelab setup. Not quite sure which registrar to go with but have heard good things about Porkbun here on lemmy. But, do people fill in their actual real name, and details for these sorta things? Geuninly curious, don't want to end up on bad terms with a company. But on the other hand im just going to use this for my homelab and dont see the "need" to give away my details for this sorta thing.

Let me know how you guys do it :)

To maintain my privacy I proxy it though :)

To be fair for now it's only used to access some admin portals for services I got running (Arr stack, syncthing, etc). The main domain isn't even mapped (so gives 404), though at some point that might become a portfolio website.
