Easy decision, I pay every time.
The domain was always for me to archive the things I enjoyed.
i did recently go through and turn off auto renewal on a few. I still have several projects i never launched though that I’m holding out hope for… someday
You can pry cuteredpanda.com from my cold dead hands.
When I click that, I only see the right side from the eye outward, of what I assume is a cute red panda. On mobile
Ah, yeah - someday I’ll make it scale better
Y u no website! Lol
Works now! You should setup SSL which is super easy with Let’s Encrypt.
What benefit does SSL/HTTPS provide if the data going back and forth is just HTML? (No user names / passwords / etc.?)
I have it set up for my jellyfin server since there is login data.
Not that I won’t add it, just didn’t know there was a need
From a regular user standpoint pretty much all modern browsers throw up warnings and block the page from initially loading if it’s not https, which discourages people from viewing it.
Nope from me, I only get a blank page.
Seems to be working but not responsive 🥲
It’s 2024 and no HTTPS?
I still have a number of domains that I registered aspirationally for projects I never really started.
Don’t worry, the dream lives on!
VancesCouchSloppySeconds.com is still available!!!
I’d be tempted to buy that. When you visit it’s just a white page with a leather couch in the middle of the screen, everytime you click the couch it would moan seductively and every fifth click would give a squelch sound.
Start selfhosting. I use my domain for tons of stuff
How much are you selling for?
Selling? I host things for myself, not others. Except my Lemmy instance I suppose, that’s public.
This is the way. I would be lost without a domain. Even mail is selfhosted with my domain. But I only use subdomains, the real domain is abandoned.
See email is one of the few things I don’t host. I host a webmail frontend, and use my domain. But PurelyMail is an amazing service that’s so cheap it’s basically free at personal scale with very few limits. I didn’t really care to try and deal with having all my mail sent to spam.
Been with purely mail for about a year and it’s been great!
I just use stalwart - mail, it’s just one docker container, has bleeding edge functions like jmap and there is no need of deeper knowledge. I refer my domain on the settings and got a list of all needed dns-records.
It takes 2-4 days to get SSL and dmarc answers from the big mail-players and if there is nothing wrong with your IP or your records then there is no mail going into spam of someone else.
I used noip.com for like 30 or 60 days. Then I got really annoyed at having to renew the DDNS every 30 days. After switching to duckdns.org I haven’t had any problems whatsoever. It’s completely free and you don’t have to renew anything manually. You obliviously still need to have a script running to update the DDNS though, otherwise it wouldn’t be very dynamic would it.
Same with the HP mini PC. But I have a $12/yr dotcom domain and a script on my server updates the DNS record anytime the IP changes.
I recommend cloudflare WARP
no money spent
Well… electricity.
You know what’s worse? Starting a successful one that makes a whole ass salary and then having google updates smack it the f out.
whole-ass milk
Whole ass-milk

I like to think that glass is half-ass full.
Nice work man. Fuck the internet and its dark ass wizards.
What happened?
I’m gonna guess search engine down ranking.
Neither. If I’m not using the domain, I can pretend I still have it.
And then it becomes a pornsite.
That’s not neither, it’s one of the options.
Which one?
The other one
I should take some time and find another redirect for http://notreddit.com
Truer words never spoken
This whole thread is a gem. So many amazing websites. It’s inspired me to make a website and hopefully be a repo for all your websites like the old internet
Is this the sticker of a hobby that you want to be part of?
MY FUCKING WEBSITE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE CAT BAGS FOR SALE WHAT WAS I THINKING?
Now think, patents are similar things but for with more money. And imagine if someone else had similar idea and made slightly similar website you go sue them coz you had the idea first.
On one hand I have my personal firstname-lastname-dot-com I’m still hosting for years. I’m not a webdev but WordPress is awfully bloated and everything else needs a touch of webdev skills.
So it’s been at “coming soon I’m working on it welcome to sample example theme page” for years, but hey it’s indexing well based on age alone!
The other is a fun clever one I route through cloudflare to access all my home server stuff via HTTPS over TailScale. Never have to expose any ports to the big scary world wide web. :p
But if I don’t renew what will become of sneakymonkeybutt.net
