Where to register domain without KYC?
I’m having few domain names with an Indian domain registrar who is asking KYC details for registerring domains as well as buying web hosting from them. Also, few Europe based domain registration companies are also asking KYC from users which includes driving licence number or some government ID, etc. I want to know which domain registration provider in India does not asks for KYC? Suggest some U.S. and EU based reliable companies where I can register domain name without providing KYC (know your customer).

as far as I know The-Online.com is one of the top domain registration provider in India and they collect payments in INR and also offer Indian payment methods like UPI, netbanking, etc. but they never asked me about KYC. Yes, other leading domain registrar and hosting companies not only in India but in Europe have started demanding KYC if user purchases server or hosting or registers domain. OVH and Hetzner in Europe do ask of KYC. In India it can be Bigrock or Godaddy India or Milesweb asking for KYC. But The-Online.com does not have office in India they might not be requesting KYC for domain registration.
I’m using The-Online.com European hosting since last two years. Never did they ask to furnish any KYC or government ID. I pay for my VPS servers, domains, and managed wordpress plans by credit card and they never ask anything! But yes, Hetzner did ask document.
