A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I have a .ch domain name, but I am not a resident, citizen, or business of Switzerland. For now, this is not a problem, but it's always possible that the rules change and I am ineligible to renew it down the line.

Is there such thing as a domain holding company? I'm thinking of someone in Switzerland who will be the registered owner while I have a legal contract defining my rights to use the domain?

This is all very hypothetical, and I'm happy to just wing it for now (it's mostly hobby/personal stuff). More just curious.

Just for fun, I looked into what it would take to register a business in Switzerland. I'd need a Swiss work permit to file for a sole proprietorship, and then I'd still have to pay ~60 CHF a month for a virtual business address.
