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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I used [large american registrar], but switched to a small one in my country because I wanted to pay a local business. I found it from somebody's compilation of companies that offer a TLD for my country, and I just picked the recommended one in that post. It was the one that charged the least.

Keep in mind that with a smaller registrar you won't be able to get a TLS cert using the "do some shit with my domain records" method - you'll have to always install the nginx/Apache etc. plugin for Let's Encrypt

This EPIK? https://www.epik.com/about/ It says nowhere they're swiss and the contact address points to an US location.

I thought they were based in Switzerland.

It looks like they no longer offer this? Can’t find any trace of it on their website and all the old links referencing them are dead.

I guess they do not offer lifetime plans anymore. I remember a few years ago getting a domain under a lifetime plan.
