I’m gonna ask my Abuelo for a USB so I can run Etcher and Yunohost for my instance. I want to choose the name craigsworld.net (like how lemmy.world’s creator chose lemmy.world). How does the site naming through Yunohost work? How much does it cost?

    Protip: Don’t announce to the world what domain(s) you intend to buy, because then someone might get to it first.

      Ha, I’ve heard that even domain hosts themselves will jack up the price of a domain later after you search up its availability if you don’t pay for it then and there! All powered by an algorithm, too…

        Additionally to this do not use GoDaddy, they snag good domains in front of your nose.

        Yup, can confirm. Go into it knowing what you would like it to be, and have a list of tlds you are okay with, plan to purchase once and only once. I like namecheap personally.
