This seems overly complicated. Why not just get a domain on cloud flare for $10? Are free domains even a thing outside github pages
@ocean Honestly, I didn't know cloudflare domains were that cheap. Also, yes, there's eu.org and a couple other ways to get free domains.
iirc, cloudflare domains are literally at cost.
I’ve only hosted public sites for a year or so but cloudflare, cloudflare proxy, pointing at my servers is very easy :)
.coms are the cheapest at 10.44 I think
.sbs $1.74 USD/yr
@ocean so one can self host with Cloudflare? I already have a domain withwith another registrar but am interested in self hosting a small web site but was not sure how to get past the issue of getting a static IP address from my ISP.
You can import or manage them through cloudflare. Does your IP change a lot? If so then you should use duckdns. I think a cloudflare tunnel may also fix this. Personally mine hasn’t changed in months so I haven’t had to deal with it.
Of course it will now change any moment now
@ocean @RareBird15 Might want to read the fine prints. Cloudflare will require you to use their nameservers. You can't choose the DNS provider you wish. Maybe fine, maybe not, but has to be taken into account, I was too often in threads where people complain to late that their domain is now tied to Cloudflare nameservers.
I don’t see why that’s a problem, I want to use their security features and proxy :)
@ocean I am not judging myself if this is a problem or not, as it is subjective and depends on a whole context, so it will differ for each case. Just saying "be aware of that, and the consequences of it, make sure that don't get against the goals you have set". Basically, "buyers beware".
Yeah, it is good to be aware!
