Why use "-" instead of "." to separate the prefix?
The dot looks better imo, that's all.
Edit: lmfao, I should learn to actually read stuff before commenting.
yeah it looks better but i am NOTTTT paying $10/mo for that
I wouldn't too because I don't think that there's any technical reason to make the user pay for that. Or maybe there is, I'm not very tech savvy.
With how cloudflare is setup, there technically is, but it's also bullshit. Basically they have two certificates for SSL (which allows for https):
example.com
and*.example.com
. These cover everything fromexample.com
tosuperlongsubdomain.example.com
, but NOT, say,a.b.example.com
. That would require something like*.b.example.com
.This is kinda BS though, as certificates are pretty much free nowadays. I guess it saves on server load? But it's so minimal that there really is no reason to charge for it, especially not with a monthly subscription. ($120/yr for certs!!)
