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.

Hello,

I don't know if it's just me or duckdns.org is actually down for everyone else. I can't nslookup my domain name also can't access my website.

Edit: It's back on :)

idk about others but at least with freedns you get 25 subdomains for free and obviously risk clashing names under the same shared domain.

Right. I'm not talking about the free service. I'm talking about the paid domain with "unlimited DNS records". That just seems so weird and kind of a red flag. It seems I can't find information about that without an account, either. Also weird and a red flag. But maybe that info is just buried in their site somewhere in the not-so-great design.

I think you misunderstood that they were citing that as a feature difference between your own domain and the free services.

Oh, maybe. It's rather confusing if that's so.
