Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Cloudflare is by far the cheapest registrar & host I've used. I'm on their free plan, which can handle almost any load (thousands of requests a week for me personally). The domains are sold at cost, so around $10 for my dot-coms. So $10/yr covers it.
Unfortunately Cloudflare does not do .ca domains. I imagine this is because there are restrictions on who can own one, so it's probably not worth the trouble for them.
yep, my most heavily-trafficked site is https://bongo.to which Cloudflare doesn't support for registration. so i have the domain registered with Namecheap but hosted still via Cloudflare. Nowadays I'd check out Porkbun also, I've heard good things.
