Comment on Can you recommend me a free domain service?

  oh, didn’t know that, thanks for the heads up. deSEC still hosts dns for free if you bring your own domain I think, so a cheap one plus deSEC for the acme dns challenge still works, just not the free subdomain part

    Yeah, they still host for free. I think they’ve limited the amount of domains you can host per account though, again due to abuse because there were actors that were bringing in thousands of domains I believe. But if you just want to host one domain it’s fine.

    The API makes the difference (vs DNS services at the registrar), DeSEC is well supported by most tools so you can do DDNS and DNS-01 with it without problems.

      good to know about the limit, thanks. for one domain plus DNS-01 that’s all most of us need anyway

        Yeah I can understand small self-hosters having maybe a handful of domains but some users were coming in with thousands. I mean if you have thousands of domains there’s obviously something else going on and maybe you should be paying someone for that.
