A server is just a useless chunk of plastic, metal, and silicon if you don't have an ISP willing to give you an IP and route traffic to you. And without a domain name, you're only accessible to technical users. Also DDoS protection is increasingly becoming a necessity.
- eightysixfour 6y agoInterestingly, ISPs are the only part of this equation I think should be regulated to require any content to travel over them. They are utilities that have government granted proto-monopolies and in exchange they should not be able to dictate the content they deliver. DNS I have mixed feelings about, but I’m inclined to say it should be the same.
