Start selfhosting. I use my domain for tons of stuff

I have an HP mini PC behind the router, noip.com, no money spent

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Same with the HP mini PC. But I have a $12/yr dotcom domain and a script on my server updates the DNS record anytime the IP changes.

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 1 points 3 months ago

My router can update the IP on its own if you configure properly

I recommend cloudflare WARP

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I used noip.com for like 30 or 60 days. Then I got really annoyed at having to renew the DDNS every 30 days. After switching to duckdns.org I haven't had any problems whatsoever. It's completely free and you don't have to renew anything manually. You obliviously still need to have a script running to update the DDNS though, otherwise it wouldn't be very dynamic would it.

My mail lived on an Intel atom based mini itx machine for years. I wanted to play with breakup by replication and bought a cheap shell. Now the cheap shell is my only mail server

no money spent

Well... electricity.

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, of course, but that mini PC uses 15 watts maximum. My main PC uses way more that that

How much are you selling for?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 13 points 3 months ago

Selling? I host things for myself, not others. Except my Lemmy instance I suppose, that's public.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is the way. I would be lost without a domain. Even mail is selfhosted with my domain. But I only use subdomains, the real domain is abandoned.

See email is one of the few things I don't host. I host a webmail frontend, and use my domain. But PurelyMail is an amazing service that's so cheap it's basically free at personal scale with very few limits. I didn't really care to try and deal with having all my mail sent to spam.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I just use stalwart - mail, it's just one docker container, has bleeding edge functions like jmap and there is no need of deeper knowledge. I refer my domain on the settings and got a list of all needed dns-records.

It takes 2-4 days to get SSL and dmarc answers from the big mail-players and if there is nothing wrong with your IP or your records then there is no mail going into spam of someone else.

Been with purely mail for about a year and it's been great!
