Guidelines%0a%0a!!! Check the Acceptable Use Policy:%0a%0a# Does this registrar censor political or religious speech? How does it define offensive content?%0a# If censorship is required by law, find a provider that insists upon a legal court order before it censors.%0a# What is the registrar's abuse policy? Do they notify us first to give us time to respond, before shutting off our services?%0a# Does the registrar have any restrictions on: IRC, email, game servers, VPNs, DNS servers, torrents and filesharing%0a%0a!!! Other Important Criteria:%0a%0a# Which country is this registrar legally operating in?%0a# How long has this registrar been operating?%0a# Does it have a good reputation?%0a# Can you easily reach customer support?%0a# What payment options do they accept? Cryptocoins, bank transfers, and mail-in cash payments are often important%0a%0aSend an email to customer support and ask them a few of these questions. If the customer support is friendly and helpful, you can continue researching. If they ignore your questions or are unhelpful, you should find another registrar. If they aren't helpful before the purchase, you can be certain they will be unhelpful afterwards when they already have your money.%0a%0a!!

Guidelines%0a%3c %0a%3c !!! Check the Acceptable Use Policy:%0a%3c %0a%3c # Does this registrar censor political or religious speech? Specifically, look up if it censors hate speech, extremist ideology, offensive content, discrimination, or racism. How do they define these words? Often this results in political and religious censorship.%0a%3c # In many countries, censorship is required by law. In such a case, sysadmins must censor to follow the law. However, a better provider will insist upon a legal court order before it censors.%0a%3c # What is their abuse policy? Do they notify us first to give us time to respond, before shutting off our services?%0a%3c # Does the registrar allow: IRC, email, tor, game servers, VPNs, DNS servers, torrents and filesharing%0a%3c %0a%3c !!! Other Important Criteria:%0a%3c %0a%3c # How long has this registrar been operating?%0a%3c # Does it have a good reputation?%0a%3c # Can you easily reach customer support?%0a%3c # What payment options do they accept? Cryptcoins are best.%0a%3c %0a%3c Send an email to customer support and ask them a few of these questions. If the customer support is friendly and helpful, you can continue researching. If they ignore your questions or are unhelpful, you should find another registrar. If they aren't helpful before the purchase, you can be certain they will be unhelpful afterwards when they already have your money.%0a%3c %0a%3c !!
