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.

How does a subrented domain work? You hold on to the whois, and collect a periodic fee to point the whois NS records at the buyers choice of servers?
Given that so many things secure access based on domain ownership, isn't that crazy risky for the renter?
FreeDNS (afraid dot org) allows anyone to create subdomains under your domain for free, so could be a good fit?
An alternative would just be to have the selfhoster message you the IP and you update the records manually...
Or even ask the selfhoster to setup a DuckDNS and you add a CNAME record for that, which would allow the selfhoster to update records themselves on duckdns
Just transfer it to whoever wants to take it over
