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.

I use Namecheap. They have a URL you can visit to update DNS records if you're doing it from the server that you need to point DNS at. They've been pretty much...non-eventful. I've never had to call them, everything online, they've been reliable enough to just say my whole experience has been pretty boring. Boring is good. I log into them once every 2 years to renew my domain and that's generally it.
Then on top of that I use Caddy for SSL Encryption/Reverse Proxy. All I need is the domain registrar, I don't use any other services.
Same pretty much. I use them too and non-eventful is the perfect way to put it. I can even update ddns records using my fritzbox directly and namecheap which is super handy.
