• Question about increasing odds to register a domain in *pending delete* period

  Given that I have the domain backordered at name.com, if I place another backorder on drop catch, won't that constitute as more than one backorder? Source: 5 months ago

• What are you guys doing for affordable website hosting?

  I registered a domain through name.com and purchased a year of Google Workspace for access to emails. I'd like to do a pretty basic website, mostly just informational with a contact us form. How are you guys doing this relatively affordable? Source: 5 months ago

• Could I safely make a public server over my home network on a dedicated computer?

  Originally I wanted to host it on a dedicated machine (Lenovo M710q Tiny PC). It's the model with a i3-7100t and I know it's more than capable of running the server. Though safety is what came to mind immediately. DDoS protection, hackers, whatever else. I wanted to use playit.gg instead of port forwarding for some safety and also using a domain I bought on name.com. Source: 6 months ago

• Best way to provide easy custom domain email for clients?

  I use name.com for domains and purchase their web Email service for like $5 per month on domains that need an email. I think it is $5 per email address on a domain, but I can't recall. It's simple and affordable. Source: 10 months ago

• Asus router script to export new OpenVPN config file on reboot

  I had to manually change the external IP in OpenDNS file to DDNS name, but I'm using Omada. Either way, as others said, use DDNS. I use noip.com for free. Source: 6 months ago

• Where are the Dynamic DNS setup settings?

  Before switching to Quantum I was using noip.com and my previous router had setup options so it would auto-update this service when my WAN IP changed. I'd prefer to use noip.com but I guess I don't really mind a switch to dyndns. I would just like to have something working - anyone know how to configure this modem for dynamic DNS? Is the help text just wrong? Source: 9 months ago

• How can I start setting up a home network

  First: static public IP is not necessary for selfhosting small services. The reason you want static ip is because when you have dynamic dns, it takes time for the DNS records to update when your IP changes. It makes sense to have static ip if you're a business hosting a website so you have zero downtime. In fact, before I bought my own domain name, I simply used a free address from noip.com! It provides a dynamic... Source: 10 months ago

• i need to redirect port 80 to 443

  Certbot has another confirmation method called DNS challange, but I use noip.com , not sure if there is a free dynamic domain name alternative. Source: 10 months ago

• Run a server in the same computer I'll play on [java]

  Your internet looks good, though download speeds aren't everything. I'd probably use 6gb ram. Make sure you trust whoever's joining your server, since they connect by your IP. You can use a service like no-ip if you want a prettier ip to connect to, though then you're trusting them with your IP (not a huge deal but something to consider). Lastly, you could try a dedicated host such as aternos which offers free... Source: 10 months ago
