I want to try out some things with a secondary domain. I’d prefer ethical and non-shady providers. I have a fixed IP and a VPS to go with it, so it’s really only about the domain. A subdomain of my current domain is not enough. A subdomain of the provider would be OK but not ideal.
Even paying very little is not an option right now - maybe later.

Doing some preliminary research, the keyword seems to be Dynamic DNS even if I have a static IP. There are providers but those that pop up easily do not instil much confidence.

I want to hear the Fediverse's opinions! I haven't found any recent posts about this.

TIA

Thanks, this looks good.

will ask for cc details.

So far I never had any problems making stuff up there.

Now that's something I would like to learn, how?

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.social 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure how to explain how imagination works.

Unless you meant something else?

I assumed cc details are validated. If all one need to do is to provide imaginative cc details then I need no further explanation
