What Njalla is
Njalla is a privacy-focused domain service that also sells virtual servers and a VPN. It is best known for registering domains in its own name on the customer's behalf, so that the customer's details do not appear in registration records while the customer keeps control of the domain. The site says pricing starts at €15 per year depending on the top-level domain, that domain privacy, DNS and email forwarding are included in every registration, and that it accepts many cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero and Ethereum, as well as PayPal.
