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.

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

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.

-
No trolling.

No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Yup, happy. A 3 hour outage once in a blue moon really isnt a big deal. Especially when I pay $0.
I host a website for my partners business, and as I pointed out to them, while their website is down right now, so is everyone else's, so not really losing customers.
So, are you using a domain you've registered for the site with cloudflare?
I bought a domain from NamesCheap for less than $5 USD, and used the Cloudflare issued nameservers. Cloudflare does not require you to purchase a domain through them, but they do require you to use their nameservers for obvious reasons.
Yes. I bought the domain through them, to keep it all nice and simple.
you bought one? Like in - one time payment with infinite time ownership?
There are no domains that are infinite time ownership (AFAIK, please correct me if I'm wrong), but its pretty close to ownership. I have the rights to the domain for 10 years, and I get first dibs on renewal after that. So its sorta renting/sorta owning?
It's like paying off and owning a house. Sure, you own it, but quit paying state taxes (assuming US, or Council Tax and Business Rates for UK etc) for a very long time and find out what happens. LOL
