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.

It looks like it’s time to “shop around”. What registrar are you guys using?

I’ve used Hover in the past, but I’ve found myself using Porkbun lately.

Edit to add: I don’t use the registrars as my authoritative DNS, I use Route53 for that.

Another vote for Porkbun here, in my case using Cloudflare for my nameservers.

Yeah Porkbun + Cloudflare is a solid combo. I'm not sure how they do it, but Porkbun is consistently cheaper than other registrars while still having solid service.

I also have a couple of domains in Google Domains since they provide wildcard email forwarding
