Do you need a domain name if you are hosting a Lemmy instance, or will it work fine with just an ip-address + port (e.g. <username>@<ip-address>:<port>)?

    What name registrar would you recommend?

    EDIT: found one for 0.85 dollars on namecheap

    EDIT EDIT: for some reason its labeled as a “premium domain” :P

      Namecheap is what I use ya. They are also really great if you have some internal services and want just a cheap domain to get SSL certs from LetEncrypt. All my internal traffic is SSL now because why not, its 85 cents a year. And no dealing with self-signed certs.
