MODERATORS
Can't argue against that.
However, I prefer local domain names accessible via Wireguard with self-signed certs. I like to understand how everything works under the hood !
Also, I'm broke AF and buying a domain name (even cheap ones) are out of my budget :(.
Numeric .xyz domains only cost $1 a year. They're not great for things like mail because they're often used by spammers (probably because of the price), but it's great for cheap signed DNS hostnames.
I point it to the server on my local network and use Wireguard to connect myself.
