I love the service, I hate the name. It's got too much cute/whimsy for my taste, and it just makes me feel like the "hello fellow teenagers" guy. If they had the same everything but it was a "short and easy to spell/pronounce" domain service, I would 100% go for it. It doesn't have to be entirely boring, but less... cute. Also I think that meme language has a high risk of drifting into the cringe zone, and then that will feel bad too. I would have the same problem with lit.lol or yeet.lol. Am I alone in being willing to pay more for less whimsy? Give me the $30/year plan where I can pick bucket.web or tiny.star or something less of the moment.

oh same. I'm not sure I'd want this with anything other than my own domain name anyway, but definitely I wouldn't want "omg.lol". I hate that internet-ass humor.

You can use your own domain, you're not tied to omg.lol

  Where does it talk about using your own domain? https://home.omg.lol/info https://home.omg.lol/info I can't find it in the Help docs.

    https://home.omg.lol/info/switchboard https://home.omg.lol/info/switchboard, the "external domains" section

      That section reads more like you can just have another domain redirect to omg.lol profile, as opposed to be served from that external domain. Am I reading that correctly? Meaning, your profile wouldn't be served from "example.com" but instead, "example.com" would simply do a browser redirect to "omg.lol/example"

        Yes that. But also in addition to that you can set A or CNAME records and do whatever you want. Just like with any domain. You can even set NS records and manage records with cloudflare. So yes you can use your own domain but edit the profile with omg.lol

        No, that's not what those docs say you can do. It looks like you can either use a DNS A record to point "example.com" directly to omg.lol's IP address, or use a CNAME record to point "example.com" to whatever IP address "example.omg.lol" points to. In both of these cases, your browser's url bar would still say "example.com".
