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.

Rules:

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

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm using DuckDNS currently, but am hoping to up my game with Caddy etc and want my own domain with more than the 5 subdomains. Any recommendations for providers?

One word of advice–it can be smart to have the domain name with one provider, and the hosting with a different one.

If OP is thinking of DDNS, he might be looking at hosting from home. If you're using a VPS, the IP generally doesn't change so DDNS isn't really required.

I agree with your Namecheap recommendation though. I use it to access my docker containers that's running on a NAS box at home. My router runs the DDNS client and periodically notifies Namecheap whenever my home IP changes.
