I registered my domain via Google Domains for $12. I write content in markdown and use a static site generator called Hugo to turn it into html. I host it on Netlify for free.
My process is:
- blog in markdown
- add a commit
- push repo // This builds on Netlify
The new content is live within minutes. I have also used Netlify to host a static html landing page that I wrote and styled by hand. I would highly recommend their service. Again, my only (monetary) cost is $12 per year via Google Domains.
- mortivore 6y agoI do the same, but with Gatsby.js, and Namecheap.
- juangacovas 6y agoYou can get cheaper domains, i.e. Porkbun.com is running a 3 per user $4.15 for .com (just looked, I'm happy with them)
- shrutipathak 6y agoI had no idea about Porkbun.com. Thanks for that. Some domains I have been looking for seems cheaper than usual.
- Ayesh 6y agoAs someone who moved entire 20+ domains to porkbun, I can assure you they are a pretty good company. Certainly not a giant, but I never had problems. They are the only few companies that allow https:// https:// domain redirection, email forwarding, and yet provide good prices for domains too. Updated to fix a tpyo in number.
- wenc 6y agoI'm sure 0+ was a typo :) ... but porkbun.com sounds interesting. I've been on GoDaddy for years but their UI and marketing is so spammy that a minimalist alternative would be a nice change. Thanks.

- sivers 6y agoI moved all (30+) of my domains to Porkbun a couple years ago, and have referred all of my friends there since. Everyone has been really happy with their service. They're just a small team of good people in Portland Oregon running an efficient smart operation. This is their parent company: https://toplevel.design/ https://toplevel.design/ Whenever I've had a customer service question, they reply immediately and helpfully. I try to support businesses like this whenever possible.
- Kye 6y agoI don't like the idea of companies being able to own the TLD for a concept they had no part in creating, particularly .gay, but at least it seems to be in good hands.
- arkitaip 6y agoPorkbun isn't just the cheapest registrar most of the time, they are legit and very trustworthy. Moved most of my domains a couple of years ago and it just works. If you are looking for domain deals, domcomp.com/ is invaluable.
