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

    Correct, the registrar simply holds the domain for you, and points it to whatever DNS service you use.

    Once that’s done, the domain DNS server just replies with the IP for DNS records, so no traffic actually passes through either the registrar or DNS server.
