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 them for email aliases via adyy, and self hosting things like jellyfin and nextcloud. I don't really "need" the privacy, but I still like to have it if I can.
I feel like they are way too expensive, otherwise they are nice.
I also kind of feel like domains shouldn't necessarily be private.
They are a little pricey, I'll give you that. Just out of curiosity why shouldn't domains be private?
I honestly have no good reason. It just feels right for it to be public information for some reason.
With that said, I would never register a personal domain without some kind of "whois" privacy. For obvious reasons.
