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.

Least terrible domain registrars (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I want to get some domains for selfhosted stuff, but I'd like to use a registrar that I won't regret doing business with later, both in terms of ethics and potential customer service stuff. Who do y'all like most?

I've used two, NameCheap, and PorkBun.

Hated Namecheap, would never use them again. Janky pricing, tons of email spam, terrible UI.

Porkbun has been pretty great. Simple, solid prices, easy to use, no issues for about a year and a half.

Pair domains supports ipv4/6 DNS, Dnsmasq, and dynamic DNS. Cheap, 2fa secured and does the job reliably.

@wetdog love porkbun. Love their API.

I migrated from IONOS and Namecheap to INWX because it does support both domains I use.
And their prices were reasonable.

Migration was quick and neat. Had to issues doing it.

I've been using Namecheap for almost a year now with no complaints

They don't support DNSSEC.

[–] philpo@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah,one of the few drawbacks they have. Most people can live with it, but it's indeed one of the things they should be providing by now but don't

Is this important when self hosting?

[–] asap@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Move your stuff from Gandi to Netim.com

Gandi got acquired and has done some very weird shit with pricing.
