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.
- Is Trustpilot even accurate?
- Who are all those one-star reviewers?
- 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 had a domain with them but at the time auto-pay was “auto-pay-from-acct-balance” as opposed to “auto-pay-with-the-credit-card-we-have on-file”
So i missed the renewal date, paid more to renew within grace period, and then transferred to a registrar with actual auto pay.
Otherwise they were great for that first year and i had no issues
Splendid experience. Favorite feature: manage DNS records via API.

if you care about “free speech” and talk about controversial stuff, whey won’t do business with you.
And I don’t check my email every single day. Scary.
Nitter ended up getting their domain back though.. However, the good ending doesn’t always happen.
Thankfully I don’t have anything “controversial” on my website.

As far as I know, Njalla is a great service. However, when you buy a domain from them, they retain ownership of the domain and submit their own information instead of yours. In contrast, if you purchase a domain from Namecheap or another registrar, you own the domain, but it’s not anonymous, even if you use WHOIS protection.
I’m on PorkBun now, but I’ve used Njalla for a few years and had no issues with them. The reason I switched was simply because I wanted to own the domain, because with Njalla the domain isn’t actually yours, it’s registered to Njalla. Note that this is by design, in the sense that when someone looks up the domain, they won’t get your info, but Njalla’s instead. After a while, I’ve gotten less comfortable with the idea of someone else owning the domain I paid for, so I switched.
But you never truly “own” a domain anyway, you just rent it via the registrars. The registrars and registries can take it away from you at any moment anyway.
Ugh. Then I guess it’s time to reconsider my registrar again.
Why, PorkBun is great?
