   @Linux_Is_Best Strong agree on not buying domain & hosting from same party. It makes an incentive against your interests to hold your domain hostage.

     Digital providers I suggest outside the United States of America.
     
     DNS: AdGuard DNS, located in Cyprus, Europe
     
     Email with calendar: Tuta, located in Germany, Europe
     
     VPN: iVPN, located, Gibraltar, Europe (UK territory)
     
     Domain Name Register / Web hosting:
     
     Note: While you can often buy domain names and hosting from the same place, I suggest you keep these two services separate from each other.
     
     OVH, located in France, Europe
     Netcup, located in Germany, Europe
     Glesys, located in Sweden, Europe

     Service providers to AVOID (NOT recommended):
     
     Hetzner - Cheap hosting, but not LGBTQ+ friendly and will terminate your services if they find photos of women/men or drawings of women/men, kissing each other. Many Fedi sites in 2024 discovered this the hard way. - See OVH for comparable alternative.
     
     Proton - Seeks to be Google-like with 1000s of happy customers, and 1000s of unhappy customer, who will claim they're a scam. Do you want to take a chance? The company has restructured a few times, and each time, customers have found their services either luckily expanded, or unluckily reduced or missing with no refund. TOS (terms of service) says they can change services and terms whenever they wish, without prior notice, and in this instance, they absolutely mean it. - See Tuta and iVPN for comparable alternative.
