Recently tried to buy a domain through Porkbun since their name always comes up in these threads, but they wanted a picture of my ID. What other providers do you guys recommend?

    What TLD did you choose on porkbun? Maybe it’s a national TLD that requires your ID. I have .EU, .me and .org domains with them and I was never asked for an ID.

      I went for an .org and the same happened to me. After digging, Porkbun says is an automated flag of suspicious account, irrelevant to the TLD.

      I was going for one of the 6-9 digit .xyz domains. I can’t check exactly what the message said since it have me the option to delete my account, which I did, but I believe the gist of it was about fighting against spam
