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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Is it cheap? I got shifted to SquareSpace from Google Domains and it's pricier. I switched the name cheap but have no loyalty to them.
You can just use the Cloudflare DNS Nameservers. No need to transfer the Domain.
This is what I do. Registered with Porkbun but have two domains pointing to Cloudflare NS's for DNS. I then have a container locally that looks for IP changes on my home connection and if detected updates DNS to the new IP.
It's reasonably priced. I was in the same boat with the Google domains shutdown. As long as you aren't a heavy user, it has lots of cool features. But if you get their attention they've been known to fleece the crap out of small businesses that were using their free services. Most of my stuff is self hosted applications to move myself off of Google services, so my traffic is minimal.
I only have two domain names and both just redirect to my public code repositories.
