You... you shut up. 🥲

Use your domain for your primary email address, have some regrets about it, but never be able to walk away..

[-] xintrik@lemm.ee 45 points 2 months ago

That's what I do. Anytime I need to sign up for something with an email I do:

companyname@mydomain.com

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 2 months ago

I use wildcards for some stuff, but I mostly just use public@domain.com and have my real email for friends and family private. It's not liked I get emails from friends and family anymore anyway. Everything is iMessage or SMS.

Same. Crazy obvious which companies are getting hacked or selling my info.

Soooo. I’m dumb. I host my overseerr on my domain that just routes to my local IP for my local desktop. How do I get email on this domain without spending dumb money on an email hosting server?

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 10 points 2 months ago

PurelyMail is a great and cheap service. It's like $10 per year. You just set up some records (MX and TXT) on your domain provider and that's it.

You could also self-host email, but then you need a server that's always powered on and it adds much complexity, so I suggest to use a managed service instead.

The good thing about using your own domain is that you're not tied to any service. You could migrate to any other provider (such as ProtonMail, FastMail, etc.) without ever changing your email address on all services.

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!

You know what's worse? Starting a successful one that makes a whole ass salary and then having google updates smack it the f out.

[-] pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

What happened?

[-] Frog@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 months ago

I'm gonna guess search engine down ranking.

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

More like "Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it's only $12. I'll cancel next year." (It's been 5 years.)

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, the dream lives on!

VancesCouchSloppySeconds.com is still available!!!

[-] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'd be tempted to buy that. When you visit it's just a white page with a leather couch in the middle of the screen, everytime you click the couch it would moan seductively and every fifth click would give a squelch sound.

Nooo, one day I'll have the time to build my writing utensil repair business.
And then I'll need the domain penisbroken.com

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 months ago

Oh this one cuts.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 19 points 2 months ago

$12? I pay $20 for mine.

Wanted to start a blog about my weight loss journey. Lost the weight and never started the blog. Still paying for the domain 7 years later.

Only thing left to do is gain the weight back so I can try again!

Fate will take it from here lol

[-] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

This is why I never bought a domain. Can't give up on your dreams if you never pursued them in the first place!

[-] VonKeebler@ttrpg.network 15 points 2 months ago

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.

Neither. If I'm not using the domain, I can pretend I still have it.

bought my domain in July... still havent finished my website...

[-] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

Give it a couple years… and then a few more.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 21 points 2 months ago

Why are you stressing this nice Lemming to fast track their site? It'll take the standard 30 years. It's fine.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

Wait you guys made websites?

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!

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

And that's why I'll never give up my domain. Those vultures will immediately snap it.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

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
