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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

There's a difference between your domain registrar and the authoritative DNS servers for your domain. For example, I register domains with Hover, but host the DNS at AWS. If Hover were to go down, I don't see how that would have any impact on my DNS. If AWS's Route53 were to go down, then my DNS is only as good as what's cached out there on the Internet.
Forgot to answer this. My advice would be to pick a good DNS provider.
It doesn't have to be the company which registered your domain. A good provider will generally have more than two authoritative DNS servers, will generally have them in separate top-level domains (e.g., .com, .net, .uk, etc.), and may even be running Anycast, which makes them even more resilient.
