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 had one through them. I had an issue where the registry (not registrar, this was gen.xyz that did it) took the domain because abuse (I have no clue what). Njalla's support was completely unhelpful, so I moved to porkbun, and I must say, porkbun was indeed an oddly satisfying experience.

As for your questions, I don't know one or two, but I can tell you njalla wasn't a scam as of a month or two ago when I used it.

Were you able to take back your domain using Porkbun, or did you have to use a completely different one?

Different one. Luckily nothing truly public facing.
