Its initial 7 steps: having your domain, managing your site, creating your pages... are quite accessible. There is some unavoidable complexity, such as configuring DNS. However, with interest and AI, there are no real limitations.
- 4ndrewl 3mo agoPeak HN comment. Barely anyone knows what a "domain" is, no-one knows what DNS is. Very few people would even know what questions to ask AI.
- 5701652400 3mo agoI know people in tech consulting advising large finance enterprises for 3+ years who barely know what DNS is.
- marysol5 3mo agoReddit /r/sysadmin "Everything is DNS because I don't actually understand what I am doing or what is happening"
- mock-possum 3mo agoOf course https://xkcd.com/2501/ https://xkcd.com/2501/
- cookiengineer 3mo agoHaha, I had to laugh a lot about this. This is essentially DNS, every single step of the way. Hosting wouldn't be hard if ISPs weren't so hostile with carrier-grade NATs, if HTTP/S wouldn't rely on DNS primarily, if legitimization were using actually mTLS instead... and all of the things usually break because of DNS and (lack of) proper standardization. DNS in its current form is such a shitshow of RFCs overriding RFCs overriding RFCs...and not a single moment was spent on the configuration of DNS, or a protocol to request a domain, or a protocol to authenticate a domain, or a protocol to host something for a domain, ... /nerdrage

- marysol5 3mo agoIt's 2026, we have LLM's and one-click everywhere. And still people have to pay "techs" to setup hosting and domains for them....
