Comment on In search for free domain I got one but some questions
Kuinox@lemmy.world 5 months agoIt’s a few euro per year, plus you can mutualize the cost with your family, take a domain name with your last name, this will allow your whole family to have firstname@lastname.yourcountrytld.
I just looked for my lastname, it’s around $10 per year.
I’ll repeat this again, but it means you will own this domain name, you have legal ressources and big companies won’t be able to take your mail address from you.
Else, use duckdns if you really don’t want to pay anything.

You just made a mistake into saying what domain name you will take, someone may buy it before you in order to extort money from you.
It probably won’t happen but…

That domain currently hosts a “this domain may be for sale” page, but it’s been registered since 2005 so it’s definitely not because of this post.

That reminds me of my Linux server teacher in university. We were to buy a domain name from Namecheap or Gandi during class with some free credits, and the teacher was recommending lastname[dot]com if that was available.
I happened to say aloud “yep, mylastname[dot]com is available” and he quickly sushed me as if I had named Voldemort aloud in Hogwarts, saying that saying it aloud is a really bad move… lol
