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

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

Well... their free services remain free regardless of your registrar. Still, I don't really mind supporting them given how useful they have been even in just the free tier.

Yea poorly worded, I meant that the free services would kick in directly rather than having to mess with nameservers and crap like I used to do whenever I bought a domain on Google lmao
