This lack of interest stemmed from the fact that I always thought that building and maintaining a website was a very complex process, also, I always had the illusion that social media was a superior alternative compared to owning a website. But ever since I got <a href="images/ban.png">banned from social media</a> without even understanding the reason why, I've realized that maybe social media ain't that good of an alternative and it's more of a liability. From that point, I decided to actually build my website and put some content on it.</p> + + <p>Now, I must say, as my final veridict that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made, not only it allowed me to create my own "platform" however I wanted "making my own rules" and to post whatever I want while making sure my information and metadata doesn't get harvested by any <a href="images/memes/ecorp.png">evil corporation</a>.</p> + + <p>It's actually not that hard to own a website and it's actually pretty cheap, with around 2€/$ you can get a domain name for an entire year, and with around 5€/$ a month, you can rent a VPS where you can host all the services you want.</p> + + <p>Currently my VPS is hosting my own website, my search engine, my chat server, my email server and my git server.</p> + + <p>As for what I use, for my DNS domain name provider I used <a href="https://www.namecheap.com/">namecheap</a>, and for my VPS provider I used <a href="https://www.vultr.com/">Vultr</a>.</p> + <p><em>*Note: If you wish to use Vultr as a VPS provider and plan to host an email server on it, you have to open up a ticket in Vultr's support to unblock port 25(smtp).*</em></p> + + <h2>In conclusion</h2> + <p>I totally recommend everyone to ditch their social media apps and creating their own website. It's way more privacy sensible and you don't have to abide by any TOS since you are the service owner.</p> + + </div> + + <div id="footer"> + <div id="contact"> + <p>Email: <a href="mailto:rafa@rafaelmarcalo.xyz">rafa@rafaelmarcalo.xyz</a></p> + <p>Github: <a href="https://github.com/rafa-99">rafa-99</a></p> + <p>GPG: <a href="files/etc/rafael.gpg">Public Key</a></p> + <p>License: <a href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt">GPLv3</a></p> + </div> + </div> + </body> +</html> |
