Overview
Njalla describes itself as a privacy service rather than a registrar. When you buy a domain through Njalla, Njalla becomes the registered owner and an agreement gives you full usage rights; you can transfer ownership to yourself or someone else whenever you want. The practical effect is that Njalla, not you, appears as the registrant.
Pricing is by TLD with no packages: .com, .net, .org, .eu and a handful of other extensions are €15 a year. Every domain includes anycast DNS, DNSSEC where the extension supports it, email forwarding and human support. Payment works with Bitcoin, Monero, Litecoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, or PayPal.
Njalla states plainly that it will never be the cheapest option. It also sells a VPN and virtual servers. The ownership model is the key trade-off: legally, the domain belongs to Njalla, so it fits projects where anonymity is worth more than holding the registration in your own name.
