Thanks, I did some research. Turns out Namecheap got banned in my country because they refused to comply with government censorship, which is perfect. With an anonymous account and Bitcoin payments, it's the best option for me.
Also, relying entirely on traditional domains isnโt a good move. We need something better or at least more options.

Namecheap has been bitcoin-friendly for a long time, but it only lets you top-up on-chain. Theyโve never integrated Lightning.
Cool to know that about namecheap, I didnt know.
And yes, agree, I've seen talk about some other form of DNS but havnt had the time to understand it yet.
For what it is, namecheap is quite good. As far as we tested (I work in gambling), they really throw government requests to the trashcan unless it is US gov issued, so unless you do something the bald eagles do not like, you can reasonably assume you will be fine. They do offer privacy hiding just as any other registar, but I would be cautious and not rely only on that considering your local gov seems to be very trigger happy. Since 1.1.2024, namecheap (or any other .com/.net/us domain registar) is obliged to pass on your actual user info to ICANN, which may be a 2nd angle for your home folk.
