Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Private and/or cheap places to register a domain (sh.itjust.works)

You have 5 seconds to answer πŸ˜ƒ

I'm currently using namecheap to buy cheap domains, I know they are not necessarily cheap in long term, but first year + coupons make them almost free

But now I've got some domains I don't want to just use one year, and it gives pretty much a lot of issues with pricing and privacy

So please, people, share services you use, and tell me whether they are private and/or cheap and/or have all those countless generic domains and not just .com .org .net

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
DNS Domain Name Service/System
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the Web
HTTPS HTTP over SSL
IP Internet Protocol
SSL Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 10 acronyms.

pay for what you use

They aren't looking to host a website. They are looking for domain registrars

ha, uh, that is what they do there. maybe go take a look before jumping to conclusions. they also have great privacy costs for those domains

I took a look and didn't see domains mentioned until you go to the members login page. It's not even on the sign up page.

So, uh, maybe go take a look at the link you're posting. And also don't write "pay for what you use" when someone is asking about buying a domain if you don't want people to think you misunderstood the question

Cloudflare

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used to use Google Domains, but then they sold that off to Squarespace.

Now I just use Cloudflare directly lol which also includes their free services, which is quite the value IMO
