I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

This one is in the top registrars ever to exist and is very old as well. Coincidentally also not in USA. Other rivals of "greatness" are things like porkbun (USA) and namecheap (USA)

Looks like other users say gandi has gone downhill. Couldn't recommend any over porkbun though so good luck.
