Recently tried to buy a domain through Porkbun since their name always comes up in these threads, but they wanted a picture of my ID. What other providers do you guys recommend?

I went for an .org and the same happened to me. After digging, Porkbun says is an automated flag of suspicious account, irrelevant to the TLD.
