github allows a free website through their domain
bought my domain in July… still havent finished my website…
What’s stopping you from succeeding?
Funny enough I started getting more commission work through Twitter and have been focusing on that recently. The website I’m making was gonna be to serve as an art portfolio and advertise my commission services lmao
Give it a couple years… and then a few more.
Wait you guys made websites?
Why are you stressing this nice Lemming to fast track their site? It’ll take the standard 30 years. It’s fine.
The domain was always for me to archive the things I enjoyed.
I let one of mine expire a few years ago. Finally decided I wanted to try to register it again, but a squatter is now sitting on it asking for something like
$10k$3.6k.Edit: just double-checked, they lowered the price to only $3595!
And that’s why I’ll never give up my domain. Those vultures will immediately snap it.
You can pry cuteredpanda.com from my cold dead hands.
When I click that, I only see the right side from the eye outward, of what I assume is a cute red panda. On mobile
Ah, yeah - someday I’ll make it scale better
Awww cute
Y u no website! Lol
Nope from me, I only get a blank page.
Works now! You should setup SSL which is super easy with Let’s Encrypt.
What benefit does SSL/HTTPS provide if the data going back and forth is just HTML? (No user names / passwords / etc.?)
I have it set up for my jellyfin server since there is login data.
Not that I won’t add it, just didn’t know there was a need
From a regular user standpoint pretty much all modern browsers throw up warnings and block the page from initially loading if it’s not https, which discourages people from viewing it.
Seems to be working but not responsive 🥲
It’s 2024 and no HTTPS?
I’m definitely getting my blog going regularly again… next year…
This whole thread is a gem. So many amazing websites. It’s inspired me to make a website and hopefully be a repo for all your websites like the old internet
Is this the sticker of a hobby that you want to be part of?
MY FUCKING WEBSITE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE CAT BAGS FOR SALE WHAT WAS I THINKING?
More like “Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it’s only $12. I’ll cancel next year.” (It’s been 5 years.)
I should take some time and find another redirect for http://notreddit.com
I was tempted to get a domain tie it to a docker image on azure then host a private (just me) Lemmy /(m)/kbin with a few other fediverse (like friendica) on it but I’m just too broke at the moment
I don’t recommend hosting a Lemmy just for yourself. How federation currently works is it mirrors EVERYTHING. Your disk will be filled up with images you never even view and you put yourself at risk of having illegal imagery on your machine if you don’t actively keep up with which instances you must ban.
Pay $12, can’t let some other jerk have my dream.

automatic renewal but now I’m questioning it…
On the flip side my husband has held on to the domain he got for 22 YEARS., and never did anything with it. We finally got our emails up and running with it last week. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
Out of curiosity; who is providing the mail service? Or are you self-hosting? Trying to organise mine, hoping I can get it done maybe 19 years quicker.
I just set my domain email up with Zoho. Was easy enough and they have a free option. Although I pay $1.25/mo per user for two users, just to get a little extra storage space and be able to use SMTP and ActiveSync to send email from my servers for notifications and use a different mobile app than their default one.
I use Hover. They’re based in Canada and I’ve been using them for years for my business domain and email. Was an easy choice for personal too. Every time I’ve had to call the tech support they have fixed the problem super fast, did extra stuff, and were super lovely. $20 a year for a small mailbox each, which is more than enough for us.
I self host email. Email is easy. I went a tad overboard with database configuration, a configuration/password change program, a few virtual hosts so I can renew six different names, but a single domain on a Linux box (any flavour) is easy
It makes it easy to make a bespoke email address for every entity you interact with, or show them the respect they deserve by giving your valid email [email protected]
It is a bit of a hobby though. You need to keep up with email security if you want to send to anyone.
my domain is my media server, so id rather not end my domain.
CatBagz.com is in this photograph and I don’t like it.
What, no one really wants to purchase cat faced bags from a guy on the internet that doesn’t like cats all that much and doesn’t use bags all that much and can’t social media and mostly just wants to stop being a fucking company shill but no I’m so fucking good at it that’s my job and my life forever.
Fuck you, dreams. I’m taking cat bags to my fucking grave.
At least my red bubble stickers sell.
Oh this one’s topical. I forgot I made it.
