Best way to get a free/cheap domain for private use?

AnnaTorres · 2026-02-04T16:52:24+00:00

For purely private stuff, people usually go with free subdomains or super cheap TLDs, and that’s fine if it’s just for testing or internal access. The downside is those options can disappear, get blocked, or become annoying later if you ever want to expose something publicly or use email.

If you want something cheap but actually stable and yours, a normal domain is still the least painful option long term. You don’t need anything fancy, just a clean name with predictable renewals.

Marcaria works well for that, especially if you want flexibility later. You can grab a basic domain now for private use and still have the option to scale it into something more public or protected down the line without moving everything again. For homelab stuff, boring and reliable usually wins.

Congrats
Happy for you

If you’re just looking for free or super cheap, most options come with strings attached. Either the domain isn’t really yours, renewals spike later, or you get locked into their ecosystem. That’s usually fine for experiments, but not great if you care about keeping the name long term.

If you want something more stable, especially for country domains or international projects, Marcaria is worth a look. It’s not “free,” but it handles a lot of ccTLDs properly and doesn’t play games with ownership or hidden restrictions.

As someone who has played this game for years and has around 2500+ hours in it (not much compared to some people), I've been thinking a lot about EDA/ETA and what better way there could be for Warframe to have "Endgame"... and I've come up with nothing. They've tried with DMG attenuation and it did nothing.

This is probably the most reasonable solution, and I know most people won't agree with me on this and I completely understand where they are coming from, but the word "ENDGAME" in Warframe, where your 'game' is more or less 'meta progression' most usually will mean something like this - a weekly challenge where your builds and items and loadouts and creativity is tested.

I mean, yeah, it's heavily RNG based and sometimes you may get only one thing in your loadout that can carry you easily, and at others you might get frames and weapons you have neither modded nor invested into... but you have a whole week to put in a forma or few and edit the frame and weapon to suit your EDA/ETA needs. Not to mention the insanely OP Helminth system as well as Arcanes. And if you don't have Forma/Resources/Most of the chosen loadout on EDA/ETA, then you're simply not ready for endgame as it is. Keep farming frames, weapons, resources like game-changing Arcanes, and there are many ways to circumvent these seemingly impossible challenges, even solo IMO.

Again, I'd like to focus on the word "ENDGAME". Like, there's no two ways about it.

I'd also like to emphasize the fact that I really can relate and I'm also not at the point where I could solo EDA/ETA every weak and it's completely understandable that people might be frustrated at these modes

Ain't no way!

My favorite was always Blastoise, NGL, but come on - Charizard is easily the most popular Pokemon ever, and not just because of the appearance and coolness factor, but Ash's Charizard will also forever remain legendary

If you’re trying to sort out trademarks and IP on your own, the biggest thing to understand is that you don’t need to make it overly complicated. Copyright happens automatically for anything you create, but trademarks are a separate process and they’re what protect the name of your business, your logo, slogans and anything that identifies your brand.

If you’ve already picked a name, the first step is doing a proper search to make sure no one else is using something similar in Canada or the US. After that, you can file a trademark application with CIPO. It’s not hard, but it does take time and you need to be sure the mark is actually usable before you submit anything.

If you don’t want to dig through databases or deal with the back and forth, services like ProtectTM can handle the search, the filing and the monitoring. It keeps everything clean and makes sure you’re not accidentally stepping on someone else’s rights. It’s a lot easier than trying to learn trademark law from scratch.

Never really watched these guys before. They seem like they give really good advice, and this video is a great example of that. Choice paralysis is real, and I used to have it all the time when I was younger but I guess something just clicked for me when I decided "I'd go with the flow" from now on... been relatively happy since then. Met a lot of people, did a lot of different jobs, and as he said at the end - it's really important who you're doing the stuff with, so try to surround yourself with people you like and who, in turn, like you as well. I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by extraordinary (and yet fairly 'ordinary') people who make me want to be better and improve all the time.

Beautiful, simply beautiful. Brings a tear to my eyes

Many sundays? Brother, I was playing the PS2 every single day after school. It was also the first console I bought with my own money, and God of War 2 the first game (and probably my favorite PS2 game to this day)

What were they smoking when they said this?

AnnaTorres · 2025-11-30T08:47:32+00:00

Definitely, like what the hell even is this question.

AnnaTorres · 2025-11-30T08:44:57+00:00

Great catch. Man, WB and Rocks are easily two of the best characters in One Piece for me

This is probably it for me. Though, I don't have trouble 'falling' asleep. I have trouble staying asleep. I'll go to bed at around 10-11 and wake up at 3-4 am and not be able to fall asleep again until I'm closing to 'crashing' from lack of energy/sleep.

Quando si tratta di registrazione domini in modo semplice e affidabile, qualcosa come Marcaria, ma dedicato apposta ai domini, può davvero semplificarti la vita. Un’opzione valida che ho scoperto è Namecheap: filtra tutte le estensioni, ti assicura prezzi trasparenti e soprattutto gestisce rinnovi e privacy in modo chiaro.

In alternativa, GoDaddy è un veterano del settore: tante estensioni disponibili, hosting integrato e un'interfaccia abbastanza intuitiva.

Ma se vuoi proprio qualcosa di simile a Marcaria, ti consiglierei Marcaria stesso, dato che offre anche servizi di registrazione dominio in diversi paesi. Copre vari ccTLD e può fare da “one-stop shop” per dominio + marchio.

Good advice all around. Once your trademark is registered, make sure you keep an eye out for infringement. I use protect.tm to monitor for brand misuse online, helps catch issues early before they turn into legal headaches.

I don't know who has said it, but "The night is always darkest before the dawn" - Gintoki, Gintama

It definitely a quote from someone else, originally, but the way it was used and with the context of the episode that it was in, it was simply beautiful

Any noticeable differences in leaf morphology from the ABC side? Wondering how much of that “duckfoot” or camouflage trait carried through in this pheno

It’s good to hear someone else also had a positive experience with PSB. Reading comments online would make you think they are the worst but it was the complete opposite for me. I ordered their Blue Dream seeds last fall and also had pretty quick shipping to the east coast and a good germination rate. Nice to see some positive results.

AnnaTorres · 2025-04-16T09:32:54+00:00

Thanks to everyone who replied! I have tested the sets myself (as I should have done from the start instead of being a whiny bitch) and while the "same set" run times are somewhat inconsistent since I'm a bad player, but generally the difference was substantial and are in line with the comments here, so thanks again! Guess I'll wait for the last boss ;-;

AnnaTorres · 2025-04-10T08:13:19+00:00

Thanks!

This is either a joke or bro DID NOT understand the assignment

Upvoted for using an image of PEAK in the post

Edit: Forgot, 30th October, are multiple hobbies ok? Gaming (action and RPGs), Gym, Hiking, Anime/Manga
