I want to try out some things with a secondary domain. I’d prefer ethical and non-shady providers. I have a fixed IP and a VPS to go with it, so it’s really only about the domain. A subdomain of my current domain is not enough. A subdomain of the provider would be OK but not ideal.
Even paying very little is not an option right now - maybe later.
Doing some preliminary research, the keyword seems to be Dynamic DNS even if I have a static IP. There are providers but those that pop up easily do not instil much confidence.
I want to hear the Fediverse’s opinions! I haven’t found any recent posts about this.
TIA
Different take but nip.io and sslip.io just let you use your IP as your domain. When you use the hex notation, it’s shorter, more usable and subdomains can just be used at will. Depending your IP address you may even get lucky and get a vanity looking subdomain. Granted it’ll be fixed as long as your IP is not changing. When it does, you gotta switch domains. I’m mentioning this because you said your IP is fixed and I have a similar use with these.
Not my use case, but it’s amazing that this exists. No registration necessary.
