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.

Ahh crap.

What's the best no nonsense alternative?

Cloudflare is just that. It supports most domains except for premium .dev (for now) from google. Registrar costs are at cost and no markup. Lots of options, no pressure to do anything beyond free.

Next option is Namecheap, but they’ve had issues lately.

I'll vouch for cloud flare. Its hands down my favorite registrar I have used.

The ABSOLUTE, HANDS DOWN worst one you can possibly ever pick, would be GoDaddy. Don't. Just Don't. Don't even search for a domain there.... They have been caught sniping up domains after you search for them.. Absolute scum.

Want to know what is worse than GoDaddy? Network Solutions.
