    I used to have like 30 domains. Then last week I bought another one so now I have like 31 domains.

    I bought it for a good reason though.

    Ooo this hurts deep. I was paying hosting and domain, but now just domain since the site needed a refresh and one day I will get around to it…

      Mate, I went full slog and got a vps. Now each site is a virtual host. I did have individual landers in each host, but now they just redirect to my main site.

      Which is a lander 🤣

      I got a domain that I only use for email right now but I’d love to set something like this up. Any recommendations on tutorials?

        Get started with a Linux server and then I’d go with something like Nextcloud in a Docker container. Then do reverse proxy, nginx on the host is very easy. You can get and update SSL certs with certbot (Let’s Encrypt).

          Just do Caddy instead of nginx/cerbot all that garbage. Caddy just simply handles it all for you: Subdomains, wildcard certs, authentication, ssl

          My whole caddy config file is like 6 lines; something like

          @mydomain.com {

          ipaddress:port

          path:/

          }

          And you can do all sorts of plugins that make it compatible with fail2ban, etc.

          I hear Traefik is pretty easy to set up too.

            And if you don’t have an unique public IP address, for example because you are behind CGNAT, you can use Pangolin. It tunnels all traffic from your homelab to a VPS via Wireguard and exposes your services via a Traefik reverse proxy. Pangolin also automates the Traefik setup and provides a webui to configure the individual proxies.

            For a VPS I recommended ionos, because they offer servers with unlimited traffic starting at only 1€ per month with server locations in both Europe and the US.

      I just renewed my .com for USD $11.08 and that’s not even the cheapest registrar. Some companies will absolutely rip you off on renewals though.

    question, i bought domains a few times, and the first year is super cheap, then the second year they jack up the prices. no, I’m not paying 140$ for a domain I only use for my kids Minecraft server.
