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.

I really like .ing, just feels satisfy.ing, I regret never grabbing a .sexy, I was always tempted, but I am not paying the current prices (Think those who bought before the increase have original renewal prices)

i know it isnt short but, .monster is so fun

.com it's cheap, it's available, I don't have to worry about a country pulling the thing out from under me, it's standard in people's minds (people don't know what a URI/URL is, but they know what a .com is immediately)

I’ll go with .zip because it’s so stupid, it’s funny. It’s like selling .pdf or .docx and expecting zero shenanigans.

But in all seriousness, I like .website. It’s short and to the point. This is my website.

.sucks

I maintain that this was made purely as an income stream for registrars. Every single company and brand should be rushing to buy companyname.sucks. Every town buying yourtown.sucks. Every political candidate getting into bidding wars over candidate.sucks or opponent.sucks.

Honestly, that price for registration is tempting.

Fucking ".sucks" is $270+ to register!! O_O Fuck that.

Too bad that that is a country tld, which means they could basically withdraw that from you at any point.

Valid, but it's run by a group in the UK that runs several of the popular ones. It's prooooobably not going anywhere.

.us is often fun.
