I was looking into hover, namecheap, and google domains.
This is the first time I'm looking into this so ELI5.

Is any one better than the others?
Would I find issues with different DNS set in my pi-hole?

Use any EU based supplier and because of GDPR, they cant publicly display whois information

I didn't even think of that! I have a few domains on namecheap and you have to remove whois protection before you move them to another register the moment you do all info gets scrapped and sold for marketing. Last time that happened i got 100s of spam calls, junk mail to my physical address, and an absurd amount of email spam. It was a nightmare.
