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.

Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.

I don’t really think Trustpilot is a good place to get info, a la Yelp.

Hard disagree on that, I've found it invaluable as a tool for assessing the safety of a company. Sure you're going to get some idiots who simply don't know how to use the tool and go online to bitch about it, but if you're seeing a significant number of people making the same complaints about support or having domains withdrawn from them, it certainly makes me suspicious.

Thank you for your reply though, it's good to hear that some people are having success. My understanding from the reading I've done online is that they used to be a lot better but have fallen in quality over the last 2 years.
