Secure domain registration - where and how to register so as not to be squeezed out?

Recently, there have been articles on Habré about mail security and privacy - how to raise your mail server, how to create a secure and private connection with it, and so on. The goal is independence from postal services and a postal address that will always belong to me, and most importantly, ill-wishers should not get to it, even by turning on the admin. resource.
Everything is chewed and obvious everywhere, except for one point, which, it seems to me, is somehow missed. This is a domain registration. You can encrypt the channel endlessly, keep the server abroad, but suddenly someone appears who takes over the domain and all your mail (which will come after that, of course) will cease to be yours. Hence the question:
Where, how and which domain to register so that it is not taken away:

  • State. structures . They put pressure on the registrar, he gives them the right to own the domain and the government official conditionally uses my Spotify subscription
  • Patent trolls This is perhaps a misnomer - I mean, those who, for example, register a trademark that matches my domain name and get it
  • Other options that I did not take into account - such a trademark already exists, for example

Well, in what zone - there seem to be restrictions on .org, .com?

Nobody needs an elusive Joe.
Register a domain that will not be anyone's trademark like vasyapupkin.com, but not so famous and that's it.

Getting a domain out is not as easy as it seems to many for some reason.
For example, there is a well-known story with the nissan.com domain , which belongs to a dude with that last name. The automaker sued him for 10 years, spent millions of dollars, and as a result, the domain remained with the owner without the right to appeal, although the company could simply make him a generous monetary offer
. .ru and they didn't succeed either.
There is a rather large sphere of domainers, which only exist due to the resale of domains. If it were so easy to overcome the domain, then they would have died long ago
In fact, problems can only arise if you use someone's name for commercial purposes, in all other cases it will be easier for you to make a commercial offer than to deal with the courts

The answer is very simple: nowhere, nothing and none. There will always be a risk , even if you register in an international company for yourself, even for a "cue ball" through an intermediary. There is more a question about the type of activity in which a person will be encrypted, including mail, etc., and then all the hypothetical consequences depend on this very moment.
I met the biggest fans of law and order in this area in USA, Europe showed itself more adequately (France, Germany, Switzerland - good; Czech Republic, Great Britain, Italy - not very), Asia somehow on its own wave, but in the Russian Federation with such a setting question, I would not advise registering domains at all ("if anything", then you will be left without a domain in a matter of hours, and given the current flow of new laws and amendments to existing ones, the situation may and is changing "

Well, in what zone - there seem to be restrictions on .org, .com?

There are no restrictions for a long time. The main thing is not to infringe copyrights and do without chernukha.

detractors should not get to it, even by turning on the admin. resource.

The task has no solution (I'm talking about the administrative resource, everything else is easily solved) If you
put it at home - they will come home
Put it in the data center - they will come to the data center
Put it in Holland - they will block IP
They put pressure on the registrar, he gives them the right to own the domain and the government official conditionally uses my Spotify subscription

What kind of nonsense? Who the hell needs you? The registrar of the local geofence will be pressured if you start spamming or calling to the streets "for all the good things." Then yes, the domain will be taken away in one fell swoop. If the zone is common type .com or geo, but "asshole" type .cc/.tk/.xyz - they will simply block
I mean, those who, for example, register a trademark that matches my domain name and get it

register a domain that is not of interest as a trademark. In addition, "whoever gets up first gets the slippers"

I have not heard of such precedents. In such a case, you can register a domain in international domain zones. Like com/org/net etc.
And although not - there seemed to be a precedent when a chelik registered a domain that mimicked some kind of government agency.
Patent trolls This is perhaps a misnomer - I mean, those who, for example, register a trademark that matches my domain name and get it

The same. Usually you show that you registered your address long before they show up and they leave or throw money/lawsuits at you if they think you are a troll.
In all cases, you lose only the domain, but not the mail.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
