No idea about the Lemmy hosting bit, but I highly doubt that .com you got will renew at $1 going forward. Judging by this list it'll most likely be $9+ after the first year.
At $1/year, the registrar you used is taking a loss because they pay more than that to the registry for it. They might be fine with that for the first year to get you in the door, but they'd presumably prefer to be profitable in the long term.
Yeah, that's partially why I'd need info as to if this Lemmy host is legit. I have the domain (technically), and if the price jumps I'd be ok with that. I paid upfront for a couple years at $1/yr. Yeah, the registrar might screw me over, but at the price I've paid, there's not a lot of risk. I really need feedback on the Lemmy host.
