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.

I would also include support for Dynamic DNS and API access as well. Those both can come in handy depending on what your doing. I know this wasn't as common years back but maybe it is more supported now.
I used Namecheap and I think they required that I have like $50 credit on my account before the API access would open up. Maybe that has changed, like I said this was years ago last time I need to look.
Fair point. I failed to mentioned features in my previous comment. Things like WHOIS Privacy are essential to me and I imagine it is for most of us (self hosters)
Any registrar worth their salt will offer whois privacy and local representative services nowadays. I would not use a registrar that wasn't capable of them — even if my domain didn't require either, I would take it as a sign their services are limited and sub par.
Absolutely agree! Just pointing it out in case OP runs into a registrar that doesn’t offer this
