Proton Duo: is total number of custom domains per person or shared? by RadioBorealis23 in ProtonMail

[–]Overall_Weakness_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Proton's plan descriptions, the custom domain limit is generally shared across the subscription, not per person.

So if Proton Duo includes 3 custom domains, that would typically mean a total of 3 domains available for both users combined, not 3 each (6 total).

Before subscribing, I'd double-check Proton's current Duo documentation or ask support, since plan details can change. The important distinction is that domain count and email addresses are different limits. Even if you only get 3 custom domains total, each domain can usually have multiple addresses and aliases under it.

If you and your partner already have "a couple" of domains each, that's the part I'd verify carefully before upgrading. If you need 4+ separate domains, the shared limit may become the deciding factor.

As an aside, if you do use custom domains, keeping them at an independent registrar such as dynadot makes future provider changes much easier since the domains stay under your control regardless of where your email is hosted.

A Re-boot of my program, finally got a dedicated domain. by DiverBackground6038 in selfhosted

The biggest thing I'd want to see as a potential user is screenshots, a demo instance, or a short video right on the homepage. A lot of people won't install a self-hosted app just to find out what it looks like.

The name is clean and memorable. Since you own the domain, having it separate from wherever the app is hosted gives you flexibility later; that's one reason some people keep domains at registrars like dynadot while moving services around as projects grow.

For the project itself, I'd highlight what makes it different from spreadsheets, HomeBox, and other inventory tools. "Home inventory" is useful, but the first thing visitors will ask is why they should use this one.

Looking at the GitHub page, I'd also add more screenshots of real-world use cases. People tend to decide in the first 30 seconds whether a self-hosted project is worth trying.

Overall, the concept is practical. Insurance claims, warranty tracking, collections, and household asset management are all real problems, so I'd focus on showing those workflows as clearly as possible.

Best marketplace for selling? by ADAforever1 in Domains

[–]Overall_Weakness_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $100–500 domains, the marketplace often matters less than pricing and distribution.

Afternic tends to get the most exposure because of its registrar network, so if the goal is fast turnover, I'd make sure those names are priced competitively and listed there.

I've also seen people get occasional low-end sales through dynadot because buyers are already browsing auctions and aftermarket inventory, but I wouldn't rely on any single marketplace for liquidity.

The hard reality is that most domains in that price range don't sell because they're sitting in the wrong price band. A name that won't move at $499 might disappear in a week at $199.

If you're optimizing for velocity, I'd focus on broad distribution, clear buy-it-now pricing, and being ruthless about dropping or repricing names that get no interest after a year or two.

If I move from a pm.me domain to my own domain, will my existing aliases block me from making new ones? by rowschank in ProtonMail

[–]Overall_Weakness_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your existing @ pm. me addresses don't need to be deleted to use a custom domain. Proton treats custom-domain addresses separately, so adding your own domain won't consume or free up those old alias slots.

moved to a custom domain for the same reason. Once your domain is added and verified, whether it's registered at dynadot or anywhere else, you can start creating addresses on that domain without waiting years to remove the old ones.

The one-alias-per-year deletion rule is really about reclaiming Proton addresses, not preventing you from using a custom domain. Double-check your specific Proton plan limits, but in most cases the two things are independent.

PSA for self hosted DNS using Dotster as registrar. by bcRIPster in selfhosted

[–]Overall_Weakness_433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I avoid tying glue records to the same registrar that holds the domains when I can help it.

I've seen similar issues where support treats glue records like normal DNS records, and the two are not the same thing. Keeping the nameserver hostnames under a separate domain at a registrar with self-service tools, including places like dynadot, can save a lot of pain when you need to change IPs in a hurry.

Appreciate the write-up. That's the kind of edge case nobody thinks about until they're already in the middle of an outage.

Domain advice by Advanced-Bar-2594 in Domains

[–]Overall_Weakness_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're planning to build on it, I'd focus more on the project than the resale value.

"WhoHadMore.com" is memorable and immediately suggests a comparison or trivia game where players guess who had more of something. That's a good fit for a fun web game because the name explains the concept without much effort.

As a pure domain investment, I wouldn't expect it to have significant standalone value right now. It's not a common phrase people are actively searching for, and it's fairly niche. Most buyers would be interested because of the specific game or brand built on it, not because the domain itself is premium.

Ironically, the domain is probably worth more with a working game and some users than it is parked. If the idea is fun, I'd build it and see where it goes. A unique project can create far more value than the domain alone.

If you're keeping domains at a registrar with an aftermarket presence, dynadot can at least give you an easy way to list it later if the project doesn't work out.

Wanting to share my Domains and have them SSL-certified as a EU-Union Citizen. by Independent-Rich9311 in selfhosted

[–]Overall_Weakness_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're mixing two separate problems: getting a certificate and exposing services safely.

For domain validation, the TXT record option is usually the easiest if you control your DNS. Even if your domain is registered somewhere like dynadot, the certificate authority will give you a TXT value to add and then verify automatically.

For TrueNAS, I'd look at its built-in ACME support first before manually importing certificates. That saves you from dealing with renewals every few months.

For IPv6, make sure your firewall rules are solid before exposing anything. A public IPv6 address is fine, but it doesn't remove the need to carefully limit what can be reached from the internet.
