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.

Recommend cloudflare for DNS. I use it for DDNS via API and it works great.
You also basically pay the wholesale rate without markup for the domain.
Is it cheap? I got shifted to SquareSpace from Google Domains and it's pricier. I switched the name cheap but have no loyalty to them.
I moved about half my domains (I have about roughly 30) to Cloudflare and then stopped as I started hitting caveats. For instance they considered some of my domains "premium" and wouldn't take them. I was having problems using them with some hosted website providers, etc
I let the rest of my domains transfer to SquareSpace and it's been mostly painless (besides Google Domains completely fucking up my email but that's wasn't SquareSpaces fault). I'll probably run out the registration on all of them and make a decision on where I'm moving my domains next year. Probably won't be Cloudflare though.
That said, Cloudflare definitely seems cheaper than SquareSpace.
