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.

Remember that some TLDs will retain their validity period when transferred, so you can transfer them ahead of time if needed.

Look it up on the INWX TLD list and click on the ones you're interested in. They have very good information about each TLD. You can find out if the leftover term transfers over, how long the transfer can take, if there's a transfer fee (and whether it translates directly to the renewal cost) etc.

Thanks for the tip, I actually didn't know that! I used GoDaddy until Gandi and I've been using them ever since.
