Ask HN: Should email addresses also give everyone a personal webpage?
What do you think of the idea of email providers also giving each address a web page directly connected to that address?
Optional of course.
Optional of course, but
- SmokeyJones 8y agoThat is a fantastic idea... wonder about security though.
- smt88 8y agoISPs used to do this. No one seemed to use it. What's the point when hosting is free and most people have no desire to publish a general page that's disconnected from social media or a blog service?
- pmontra 8y agoI registered my own domain in the 90s and I always had a POP3 mailbox on the server of the registar. I download email on my laptop and read it with Thunderbird (and also read it on my phone before downloading it, not the usual arrangement) I configure the DNS to point www to a web server on a VPS on OVH. The registrar also offers static web hosting, which could be what you are proposing.
