my dream of hosting a few services mostly for personal use is alive and kicking tyvm
Just renewed and I’m upset as well
Just set up auto renew and be sad when you are charged, then forget about it in a few days.
Wow this was me yesterday. Opened Namecheap and saw the 10 domains I have sitting there doing nothing.
My dream of pressing a red button with pay $12 on it will never be fulfilled 😥
I have one that I use for services that other people need to get to. Otherwise I just remember the IP.
No https?
I’ve heard that Let’s Encrypt recently started issuing certificates for IP addresses. I’m unable to find the article at the moment though.
Oh, they stopped the excuses finally? Not a “huge security problem” and “impossible to verify real ownership” anymore?
Well the domain helps with that for sure, especially for things like let’s encrypt. But my other stuff is running through Tailscale/headscale so https isn’t really necessary.
Ooo this hurts deep. I was paying hosting and domain, but now just domain since the site needed a refresh and one day I will get around to it…
Mate, I went full slog and got a vps. Now each site is a virtual host. I did have individual landers in each host, but now they just redirect to my main site.
Which is a lander 🤣
I used to have like 30 domains. Then last week I bought another one so now I have like 31 domains.
I bought it for a good reason though.
Oh neat.
My domain is just used so I can reverse-proxy my homelab for people who don’t know anything about vpn, etc.
I got a domain that I only use for email right now but I’d love to set something like this up. Any recommendations on tutorials?
Yeah, I use it for personal link sharing for Immich. Sharing photos is a breeze.
$12 is 2018 prices
I just renewed my .com for USD $11.08 and that’s not even the cheapest registrar. Some companies will absolutely rip you off on renewals though.
My .xyz domain is $13 on renewal, where should I move to attain lower prices?
You can check tld-list.com to see who has the best prices.
A lot of the price data is inaccurate or outdated. They didn’t include Namecheap’s latest 2 price increases, for example (fuck Namecheap)
A good starting point, but be sure to double check prices
I paid $11.08 too on porkbun, but it’s a .com domain
Guys one day, my nixos config WILL hold both my pc and home server configuration, just gotta block out 3 months to get it bootable
I wish I could keep my dreams alive for $12.
yeah a box of good reeds costs more than that
I’m in this meme, and I don’t like it.
Me too. My nextcloud has been dead for years at this point.
I mean. It does make me feel better knowing I’m not actually alone.
Right? On one hand I feel personally attacked, but on the other hand “oh thank god it’s not just me”.
But next year I swear I’ll have the time and energy to actually build all those cool ideas behind the domains! I hope….
I can’t be the only one that collects cheap domains for fun.
