They’re for a project I swear
I totally haven’t renewed them year after year without any movement on that project
I.... Feel called out
A single domain helps so much, regardless of what you have planned. I basically use mine just as bookmarks. There's a dedicated subdomain for dynamic DNS. I make use of SRV records. Costs me like 6 bucks a year. You don't need huge ambitions or dreams for a domain name to make sense.
I got my username because it was about £11 for 2 years, and by buying it through cloudflare I get tones of ways to access the stuff I self host.
At some point I plan on setting up a personal website.
Don’t ask, not because it’s rude but because they honestly lost count years ago.
We're really consuming them at an alarming rate. Soon, the only affordable ones will have either 20+ characters, a sus TLD, or just be a nonsensical string nobody can pronounce.
The weird TLDs will just be normalised
I sure hope so. Half of the Fediverse uses them. We don't want people thinking "no way I'm clicking sh.itjust.works"
They're my emotional support domains
- And a bajillion subdomains
That's funny, I was just looking up registering my first domain name for a project this morning.
Zero, cuz they cost money and I don't earn my salary in USD
And how many domain registers they have ;-;
Moving everything to one registrar was a pain but well worth it.
1 with many subdomains. But I intend to invest in a second one with my legal name, for more professional purposes.
For now, just 4...
Just one for me… for now.
None because I use free ones.
Freedns is amazing. You can take a public one and have as many subdomains as you want. Even nested.
whoisearth.com - had for 20+ years. Personal sandbox
ifuckswiththat.com - both just general blogs
"Surname".com - I get my personal email and my kids all setup there
How did you setup your emai?
I use dreamhost and it's just normal IMAP.
Literally just bought 1 this month
I got three so far. Bought my first one as motivational commitment for a project, then came the second... And the third... And it'd be cool if I had a fourth one...
Actually, gimme a couple minutes
I have like 11...
Like 1
Yeah I lost count a while ago. It’s probably around 20, maybe less.
Heh, 18. Got some cool ones too
Like two dozen or more. I'm using exactly one for anything.
