Hi, I’m thinking of building a personal website about tech, privacy, open source, etc. Any recommendations about where can I buy domain? .com is taken, but everything else is not. Shuld I take .tech (few dolars more expensive) or something more basic?

Help me understand something, DNS records are the info (A, AAAA, TXT, etc) that’s modified to configure services like websites and mail servers to a specific domain, right?
