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.

I already move my domains to cloudfare! Great decision.

I want to move to CloudFlare too, but I have a couple of .com.au domains that CloudFlare doesn't support.

Yup, I have been using cloudflare for a few years now, and, no complaints at all. Completely painless.

And they don't charge for a fucking email forwarding. Fuck you, domain.com!

Cloudflare recently added that in the last year or so. Very nice features. In the past, I ended up using amazon SES to replicate that functionality.

How do I do this? I currently pay for a google domain at a cheap rate of like $13 a year. I want to keep it cheap and make sure I can just point it to my box.

Cloudflare doesn't support every TLD's, but they don't have any markup on top of the ICANN fees that every register must pay, so they will probably be one of the cheapest. I use Cloudflare myself for DNS, Tunnels and anti-bot measures, but my main domain is not registered with them because it's included in my web hosting plan.
