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.

Coupon is TESTANDCODE

I had already used it before realising it was one or the other, honestly its one of the better TLD's IMO, too bad Cloudflare doesn't support it yet.

Edit: I should have mentioned, you have to make a tentative payment of 1 USD, which is reverted.

I'm in the minority here when I say this and my situation may have been a very very special case or something but I tried transferring one of my domains from Gandi to Porkbun (after the new price increase). Upon paying, they needed to do extra verification which involved taking a selfie and sending a photo of my government ID.

I don't really know what triggered this (Gandi has never asked for a selfie and government ID) so I moved elsewhere. Unfortunately, they still haven't refunded me for the cancelled transaction but in the support email, they said they already did and it might take some time before it's processed or whatever. It's been almost 20 days since then. I probably need to contact my bank tomorrow.

Again, I'm not trying to besmirch Porkbun but I felt like mentioning this anyway. They're support team replies very fast however and they're really nice.
