Why this matters for digital sovereignty
A domain registrar controls ownership of your domain name and falls under the NIS2 directive as a domain name registry, so the registrar's reliability and location directly affect your online continuity. Check who ultimately owns the registrar, how easily domains can be transferred out and whether two-factor authentication is mandatory.
