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.

Coupon is TESTANDCODE

I had already used it before realising it was one or the other, honestly its one of the better TLD's IMO, too bad Cloudflare doesn't support it yet.

Edit: I should have mentioned, you have to make a tentative payment of 1 USD, which is reverted.

The renewals.... That's where they getcha...

Which are honestly some of the cheapest in the market, plus you own the domain and have the right to transfer it out, only paying the new registrar for a renewal after 60 days.

Hopefully CloudFlare add .dev & .app in the next year, given Google's decision, I still can't believe Squarespace is getting all those accounts.

I've gotta say I've been using Porkbun for a few years now and I've never been caught off guard by insane renewal prices.

I won't lie... their prices actually don't look half bad. Dot com is ten bucks a year instead of the $14 I'm giving Namecheap...

I just switched away from namecheap because porkbun's prices were so much better. They're just all around better, really.

Yeah but PorkBun's prices are cheap - and advertised publicly.
