For those unaware, Njalla is an anonymous domain registrar though I’m hoping many of you already know.

What are your thoughts on Njalla? I’ve got a domain with them already and renewal is coming up this August, but I’m kinda feeling doubt with their Trustpilot reviews.

  1. Is Trustpilot even accurate?
  2. Who are all those one-star reviewers?
  3. Is Njalla a scam? Has anyone here had good experiences with them?

The website there is just my personal website. There’s not much “shady” stuff on it (lemuria.ph).

    I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. The only issue I’ve ever seen people call out is that by the very nature of the business, you don’t actually own the domain you register on Njalla. You’re basically renting it from them.

      Is it any different from the others i.e Namecheap or Porkbun?

      getting a domain means renting it, you have to constantly renew it, you can’t outright buy a domain. although njalla takes it a step further and rent it on your behalf, you’re still the custodian of said domain but they can take actions on your domain without your input.
