Monero Merchant of the Week

Njalla Logo

Njal.la is a domain registration service with privacy as the primary focus. To understand their service, we quote directly from their About section:

“When you buy a domain in our system, we're actually purchasing it for ourselves. We will be the actual owners of the domain, it's not an ownership by proxy as found with all other providers. However, you will still have the full control over the domain name. You can either use our information, our nameservers or you can go with your custom data.

If you ever want to move the domain from our system, we'll of course give you the domain without any additional costs.

The idea is to make sure that we minimise your visibility to the public. We're not going to give your customer data out easily. However, we will help if there are legal merits to any formal government requests to our system. If you use our service in a way that affects anyone's health or safety, we reserve the right to suspend your service.”

Check back next week for another merchant that accepts Monero for their goods and services.
